Barcelona teenager Seung Woo Lee 'not joining Real Madrid'

Barcelona youngster Seung Woo Lee is not moving to Spanish rivals Real Madrid, according to the player's father.

The 17-year-old Korean star, who was top scorer at last year's Under 16 Asian Cup, had been linked with a move to the Bernabeu to link up with Castilla, who are managed by Los Blancos legend Zinedine Zidane.

However, Lee's father has rebuffed suggestions that his son will be leaving Camp Nou anytime soon.

He told SBS: "We have no received any offers from Real Madrid. We're thankful for interest from a big club but what Barcelona are doing for my son and the environment they made for my family is almost perfect.

"We don't have any intention of ditching them even if an offer actually came in. Interest from Spanish media are almost scary, but my son is doing well and he's focusing on his football."

Last month, Real completed the signing of Norwegian teenager Martin Odegaard, despite competition from several European clubs.
