Figo bemused by quit rumours
Luis Figo has denied suggestions he is to leave Real Madrid this summer.
The front cover of Wednesday's edition of sports daily Marca, which has close links with Madrid, insisted Figo had been told by president Florentino Perez he was free to negotiate a transfer away from the Bernabeu. But the former Barcelona star insists he has heard nothing from Perez or any other official from the club. "It is not true that Florentino Perez has called me and even less so that he told me I am free to look for another team," he said. "I am very surprised by the front page of Marca, or then again maybe not..." Figo added. "Nobody at the club, not even the president, has said anything to me about the possibility that the club didn't want to fulfil its obligations as regards my contract." Figo, whose current deal expires at the end of next season, was dropped to the bench for the last 10 games of the recently-completed Primera Liga campaign, prompting talk of a fall-out with Madrid coach Wanderley Luxemburgo. The 32-year-old admits he is not happy at losing his place in the side but insists that does not mean he is now seeking a move. "The fact I don't like being substitute should not be confused with wanting to leave Real Madrid," said Figo.
