Rafael Benitez: 'Nobody is leaving Real Madrid'

Rafael Benitez has insisted that nobody will be leaving Real Madrid, amid speculation that a number of players could move elsewhere before the transfer window closes.

Centre-back Pepe has been linked with a move to Manchester United in recent days, with the Red Devils previously seeing a £35m bid knocked back for defender Sergio Ramos.

Elsewhere, Karim Benzema is said to be an Arsenal target as the Gunners reportedly bid £46m for the French striker, but Benitez is adamant that none of his squad will exit the Bernabeu.

Speaking to reporters following their 2-0 friendly win over Tottenham Hotspur, the Spaniard said: "As I mentioned with Karim, there's a lot of speculation.

"I don't care about any of it. I just want to concentrate on football, all of my players will be staying here."

Gareth Bale was on target against his former club as the Blancos edged out Spurs in the Audi Cup, with James Rodriguez's first-half opener sending them on their way.
