Villareal and Liverpool were interested by Real don't wanna sell him.
Summary of Benitez's press for the match against Manchester City tomorrow.
- "Working with Cristiano Ronaldo you realise why he is the best in the world".
-"It's clear to me and the club that Ramos will remain 100% committed to Real Madrid".
-"I want to make it very clear that this is a period of preparation for the season ahead. We'll be playing with a team that is good enough to win but the main idea is getting ourselves ready for the real matches ahead".
-"The team are in good shape".
-"De Gea is not our player and Ramos is our captain and a very important player for us".
-"Modric is hugely important for Real Madrid".
-"Casilla is doing well and continuing to progress. He's just joined the team and needs a few days to adapt".
-"We have a good team and as the manager it is my responsibility to get the best out of the players. The market is still open but we need to get on with our work, which involves improving this group of players that- it goes without saying - is already excellent".
Luka Modric: Ramos is our captain and our leader both on and off the pitch. I think he'll stay because in my opinion he's the best defender in the world and he should be on the best team in the world. There's no need to ask him to stay because I'm certain that's what he wants to do".
Benzema agent to Sky Sports: " Karim will still be 1000% a Real Madrid player at the end of transfer window. He doesn't want to move".
Karim Djaziri tells Sky Sports: "Karim is very happy at Real Madrid and is not looking to move anywhere this summer".
