Real Madrid has denied reports linking them with a move for Liverpool defender Virgil van Dijk, claiming no talks have taken place.
According to Marca, the club has denied any talks with the Dutchman and described the rumours as fabrications by the player’s representatives.
Similar speculation had previously surrounded Bayern Munich’s Joshua Kimmich, who is now expected to sign a new contract with the Bundesliga side.
Despite an ongoing injury crisis, Los Blancos did not add a center-back in January.
The club is reportedly looking into internal options, with young defenders Raul Asencio and Joan Martinez emerging as possible candidates.
The final decision will be based on the recovery progress of David Alaba and Eder Militao.
