Real Madrid striker Karim Benzema plays down suggestions that he could leave the club this summer.

Real Madrid striker Karim Benzema has insisted that he will not leave the Spanish outfit this summer.

The Frenchman, who recently underwent an operation to remove a cyst from his right knee, has long been linked with a move to the Premier League.

However, despite reported interest from Manchester United and Chelsea, the former Lyon forward has vowed to remain in Madrid.

"Of course I'm staying. I'm happy at Real Madrid and I'm not going to leave. I'm eager to win titles, but I think we all need to disconnect a bit," he told Marca.

Benzema scored 21 goals for Madrid last season.
