Real Madrid rule out move for Javier Hernandez

Real Madrid have told Manchester United that they will not be taking up their option to sign Javier Hernandez at the end of the season. The Mexican striker has yet to force his way into the Champions League champions' first team regularly this campaign.

Currently on loan from Man Utd, Chicharito has already told his agent that he wants to stay in Spain and ideally at Real. However, with the impressive quartet of Karim Benzema, Cristiano Ronaldo, Gareth Bale and James Rodriguez sealing a record 16th consecutive win for the Liga giants yesterday, Javier Hernandez is unlikely to stay put.

It is understood that several Premier League teams are interested, with Tottenham rumoured to have already contacted United about a deal next summer for the Mexico international.
