The agent of Bayer Leverkusen striker Javier Hernandez has slammed claims he is up for sale.

With Liverpool, Sevilla and Chelsea keen, it broke this week that Bayer were willing to sell Chicharito for €25 million.

It was claimed Bayer wanted to sell the former Manchester United star over attitude problems.

But Eduardo Hernández told La Aficion: "From this sensationalist and sensationalistic newspaper, there is absolutely no truth to it. Firstly, Javier should have a bad relationship with his team-mates and the club, is a big lie.

"And also that the club wants to sell him for 25 million is not true. I have been assured that Javier is not for sale."

He added: "There are false claims. It was badly researched and done with a bad intention. Just to harm the reputation of Javier."
