Celta Vigo coach Mohamed calm over Real Madrid rumours for Aspas

New Celta Vigo coach Antonio Mohamed is confident they won't lose Iago Aspas this week.

The Spain striker is being linked with a surprise move to Real Madrid.

Real coach Julen Lopetegui is keen to have a new striker signing made before Friday's transfer deadline - and Aspas is on his radar. The pair worked together when Lopetegui was Spain coach.

Mohamed said, "I am really calm, we do not have any idea about Iago at any time, I have a way of living that I do not like to invent problems in my head, although one as a human being is always thinking about what can happen.

"I think it's just a rumor. The board told me it was not true, so I'm calm."
