Manchester City winger David Silva has shrugged off rumours of interest from Real Madrid.

Silva was linked with Real last summer.

But he told Efe: "I wonder if I was close to going there, really. This is something I don't think about. I cannot talk about the past, only the present and the future. My agent told me that the City was very interested and would bet strongly for me, so I decided I was going with them."
