Real Madrid defender Raphael Varane is only focused on helping Los Blancos to success this season, rather than engaging in talk of a possible move to the Premier League.

Raphael Varane has insisted that he is "100% committed" to Real Madrid amid strong links with a move to the Premier League with Manchester United or Chelsea.

The France international's future is a hot topic of debate at the Bernabeu as he is about to enter the final 12 months of his existing contract.

United have been repeatedly linked with Varane in recent years, but domestic rivals Chelsea are rumoured to have overtaken them in the race to sign the 28-year-old.

However, on the eve of Madrid's Champions League semi-final first leg with Chelsea, Varane has played down talk that he could be on his way to either club this summer.

"My future is clear: my focus is on the end of the season," he said at a pre-match news conference on Monday.

"We are in a very intense minute, we have to be focused on the games that lie ahead.

"It is normal that my focus is on the end of the season. The message to the fans is that I am 100 per cent committed to the team.

"We have challenges that encourage us a lot. I am focused on giving everything on the field."

Varane, who is into his 10th season with Madrid, is believed to have a price tag of €70m (£61m). body check tags ::
