No Real contact - Ljungberg
29-Mar-2004 | SW news desk
Arsenal midfielder Freddie Ljungberg has denied rumours linking him with a summer move to Real Madrid.
The Swedish international says that while he is flattered by the rumours, there has been no contact from the Spanish giants, and that in any case he is not interested in a move away from Highbury.
The 26-year-old wants to remain in North London and be part of the exciting developments at the club, with Arsenal due to move to a new stadium in 2006.
"I have also heard the rumours," Ljungberg told Expressen.
"But nobody has contacted me and although it is really flattering that a club that buy many skilled players might be interested in me, I have no desire to leave Arsenal.
"The club has truly proved that they invest and want to win. Just look at the new stadium which will be built.
"Arsenal want to be one of the really big clubs and why would I leave under such circumstances?
"We have a good atmosphere in the squad! We fight for each other on the pitch and that is also affecting things off the pitch.
"There is definitely nothing wrong with Spain, Madrid is supposed to be a cool city, but I am truly enjoying myself in London."

“那是社会上过分的谣言，从来没有联系过西班牙的球会，而且无论如何也
不会离开海布里。虽然有许多球会对我感兴趣，但我没有欲望离开兵工厂，
在伦敦，我真的很享受！”
