Agent: Cassano staying with Real Madrid

The agent of Antonio Cassano says the Italian striker is likely to remain with Real Madrid beyond the January market.

"Cassano will leave Real Madrid? Absolutely not," said Giuseppe Bozzo on Thursday. "I heard Mijatovic's interview, but I don't think it was meant to be controversial."

"He knows that Antonio does not want to move from Madrid and I also confirmed this to him personally. Antonio will remain until the end of his contract in 2011."

"We are at Real Madrid, the strongest side in the world, there is an existing contract in place and a new cycle is starting. Could you ever leave now? No way."
