Malaga goalkeeper Juan Calatayud has played down talk of a summer switch to Real Madrid.
The 25 year-old is expected to move to Real at season's end after signing a new contract extension with a revised buyout clause of a knockdown £5 million.
Asked why he signed the contract when he knew Real Madrid were chasing him, Calatayud told AS: "I did it because Malaga offered it to me. They're the team that gave me the opportunity to play in the Primera Liga."
"Also, I was told of an interest on the part of Liverpool ... it is flattering, but the project with which I identify myself is the one of Malaga."
"If Real Madrid come in for me, then the club benefits."
