Wolfsburg midfielder Diego has played down any reports linking him with a January move.

The Brazilian was close to leaving the Bundesliga side last term but instead joined Atlético Madrid on a season-long loan, where he scored three times in 30 La Liga appearances.

However, Diego has become a key player for Wolfsburg this season, starting 16 times and scoring six, following the departure of manager Felix Magath in October.

The 27-year-old told AS: “My only reality is my club, Wolfsburg.

“I’ve heard things about an alleged Galatasaray interest in me, but I cannot think of a transfer during this window.

“I have a contract with Wolfsburg and this is where I belong.”

The midfielder has also urged former Atletico teammate Arda Turan to ignore any temptation to leave the Spanish club this January.

He added: “He’s playing perfectly.

“He’s a very creative player, of which there are many. Arda should continue at Atletico. If he leaves, I think he would be making a mistake.”
