Real Madrid insist Argentina international Gonzalo Higuain is not for sale, amid rumours of a big-money switch to Manchester City.
Reports have speculated that City have opened talks with Madrid over a deal for striker Higuain and midfield team-mate Fernando Gago.
But sporting director Jorge Valdano insists World Cup-bound Higuain is going nowhere.
Valdano told Marca: “He is under contract for three more years and has been a key man this season, he is not transferable.”
Higuain can be backed at 7/2 with Ladbrokes to be Argentina's top scorer at the World Cup.
