Leon Poised To Shun Liverpool Interest And Remain At Real Madrid

Liverpool target Pedro Leon wants to snub the Premier League and fight for his place at Real Madrid.

The 24-year-old is already at the fifth club of his career and, despite making just six substitute appearances for Jose Mourinho last season, he wants to remain at the Bernabeu.

Madrid paid Getafe £10m for the right-sided midfielder in 2010 but is already willing to offload the former Spain U-21 international as they prepare to wrestle the Spanish title back from Barcelona next season.

But the former Levante man is on a five-year contract worth £3m-per-year and is reluctant to a move even with interest from Valencia, Villarreal and Bayern Munich as well as the English outfit.
