Wigan's Valencia to stay put at JJB Stadium

Wigan winger Antonio Valencia will remain with the club after Real Madrid withdrew their interest.

Real Madrid sources have revealed how Wigan did not want to let Valencai go on a loan deal so at present and deal has fallen through.

"Wigan rejected the option of a loan and that is the last word on the subject," said the Real source.

"With the [presidential] elections in June, it is better for us to now close the mark following the arrives of Huntelaar and Diarra."
