Real Madrid 'turn down Javi Sanchez offers'

Real Madrid have reportedly rejected offers from three clubs - including Premier League side Bournemouth - for central defender Javi Sanchez.

The player is captain of Real Madrid Castilla, and the 21-year-old has made five first-team appearances for the European champions during the 2018-19 campaign.

Sanchez has played just 45 minutes of La Liga football this term, but featured in two of Madrid's Champions League group-stage matches earlier this season.

The Spaniard's current deal at the Bernabeu will expire at the end of next season, and according to Diario Sport, Bournemouth, Real Sociedad and Real Valladolid have all made offers for the defender.

The same report, however, has claimed that Los Blancos rejected the interest as they see Sanchez as a part of their plans moving forward.

Sanchez has not made the matchday squad for a La Liga match since December 9.
