Nuri Sahin has revealed that he is keen to remain a Real Madrid player beyond the summer.

The Turkish international only joined Los Blancos at the end of last season from Borussia Dortmund for an undisclosed fee.

However, a string of injuries have seen him struggle to hold down a place in Jose Mourinho's starting lineup, leading to speculation that he could leave the Bernabeu over the coming weeks.

Sahin, though, has insisted that playing for Real is like a "dream" for him.

"I want to stay at the biggest club in the world," he told reporters. "I have the desire to succeed here and want to prove my worth at Madrid. I'm living the dream at this club."

Sahin's contract with Real expires in 2017.
