Aston Villa defender Carlos Cuellar has rejected rumours linking him with a move to Real Madrid.
Reports in Spain have suggested Real are targeting a move for Cuellar after losing Pepe to long-term injury.
Cuellar, who is enjoying his best form for Villa this season, is flattered to be linked with Real but insists he is staying at Villa Park.
"It's a great honour to be linked with teams of that stature," Cuellar told the Birmingham Mail .
"Although it's not true, that they mention you is important. I'm staying at Aston Villa. Nothing could happen. This is the path that I have chosen. I was not forced to do anything.
"My dream was to play in a foreign league. Where better to do that than the Premier League?"
