Racing cool Canales’ Real link

(GSM) – Racing Santander have dismissed claims that Real Madrid have agreed a deal for starlet Sergio Canales.

The 18-year-old midfielder has made a huge impression in recent weeks, scoring four goals in his last three games.

His current deal expires in the summer but Racing do have an option on him.

And president Francisco Pernia insists he will be staying put and not joining Real or Barcelona.

“We have a commitment obtained with his father who is the person who represents the player’s interests and I am fully confident in this,” said the Racing chief.

“These stories have as much relation to the truth as an egg to a chestnut.

“I have never lost my calm nor am I going to. Nothing’s happening here. Everyone’s calm and no-one’s getting nervous.

“There are always people who talk about matters and get in contact with other people to ask them about it.”
