He told AS: “ If he is going to go to Madrid? It is normal that a club like Real goes looking for a player of Franco's prototype .
"Due to his age and personality, he is very attractive for Madrid, Atlético, Barcelona, PSG... But he is clear that his desire is to play for River and continue demonstrating. I understand that people talk about him, but it doesn't affect the player. And thank goodness: not everyone has his capacity for concentration.
"The only thing Franco wants is to succeed at River: what happens later will be when it should be. Burning stages would not be good for anyone."
