Sevilla striker Alvaro Negredo is adamant he will not return to Real Madrid.

Real are considering taking up their buy-back option on Negredo, but will face a battle to convince the player to return.

Negredo said: "A return ticket to Madrid? No, this is one way. It was I who closed the door on Madrid, not the arrival of (Karim) Benzema.

"From day one, Madrid have indicated they did not want me."
