Thomas Gravesen's agent has claimed that he knows nothing about talks between Manchester City and Real Madrid about a move for the player at the end of the season and stated that the Denmark international is happy in Spain.
Reports in the Spanish and Danish media have said that the two clubs have held several rounds of negotiations and could be close to reaching a deal for the former Hamburg and Everton midfielder.
Gravesen's representative, John Sivebaek, has denied that he knows anything about any discussions although he recognises that there are always clubs interested in his client.
"I do not know anything about Real Madrid agreeing any price for a transfer with any other club," Sivebaek told Ekstra Bladet. "I am sure that we will be the first to know and then we can see what happens.
"I will continue to follow the development of this story with a great sense of expectancy.
"There is always interest in the good players, but I can assure you that I do not know anything concrete about Manchester City and only know that Thomas is very happy playing in Madrid."
Gravesen is one of the players expected to be part of a summer clear-out by the Bernabeu club after Fernando Martin took over as president following Florentino Perez's resignation at the end of last month.
After joining Madrid in the winter transfer window last year, Gravesen has been linked with a move back to the Premiership on several occasions, but he has a contract with the Spanish giants until 2008.
Other players expected to be in the cull at the end of the season are Ronaldo, Zinedine Zidane, Roberto Carlos, Ivan Helguera, Pablo Garcia and Jonathan Woodgate.
