Real Madrid's sporting director has denied reports that the Spanish giants had approached England coach Sven Goran Eriksson.
The Swede had been linked with following England captain David Beckham to the Santiago Bernabeu, but Valdano insists contract talks with Vicente Del Bosque are still ongoing.
Del Bosque's contract is due to expire this summer, but the club are set to meet him after Sunday's final match of the season. A victory at home to Atletic Bilbao will secure Real's 29th title.
Valdano said: "We have not considered other alternatives. We have not spoken to anyone. I don't why Eriksson's name has been linked with Madrid."
He continued: "If there is a solution with Del Bosque, it will be announced on Monday, and if not, we will continue to negotiate."
