AC Milan goalkeeper Diego Lopez says he'd like to stay with Espanyol.

The Spaniard is on-loan at Espanyol from Milan and been linked with Chelsea this week.

But Lopez said: "Until June 30 I'm with Espanyol. Both clubs know well my preference. I have not had any contact with Milan.

"At this time I devote myself exclusively to my work, to my training, giving it all to play. If Espanyol were to want me, they will have to make a firm step to Milan. Here I'm happy and I feel wanted.

"I am happy that this club has believed in me at a difficult time and I hope that we can extend our relationship in the near future."
