Chelsea defender Branislav Ivanovic has stated that he is not interested in a move away from Stamford Bridge, despite rumours of interest from Real Madrid.

The versatile centre-back or right-back has been one of the west London club's most consistent performers over the last number of seasons, and as such as been linked with a switch to the Santiago Bernabeu.

Despite this, Ivanovic has spoken of his contentment at Chelsea and admitted that he is not thinking about a move at the current time.

"I know what has been written about my future and that Madrid are following me, but now is not the time to talk about this,” he told Marca, translated to English by The Daily Mail.

"I am focused on the national team now and I am very happy at Chelsea.

"I won the Champions League just one week ago and to think about changing clubs now is complicated. I am very happy in London," he confessed.
