Diarra uncertain over Real stay

(GSM) – Real Madrid midfielder Lassana Diarra remains uncertain over his future at the Spanish club beyond the January transfer window.

Despite starting Real’s last three games, the France international – whose contract stretches until June 2013 – is still in doubt over his future at Santiago Bernabéu.

“I’m at Real Madrid and I have a contract,” said Diarra. “A month ago the situation was more difficult, but I hope to play here.

“Currently I am thinking only of the next game, but I don’t know if I will remain here.

“I continue to work and I am at the club’s disposal. I previously said I would assess my situation in January.

“I don’t think much about playing or not. I just enjoy myself and try to help Real Madrid win.”

Diarra has struggled to make his mark under new Real coach José Mourinho and the 25-year-old former Arsenal, Chelsea and Portsmouth player has only made nine appearances in the Primera Division and five outings in the Champions League.
