“I don’t want to fuel stories that don’t exist. Yes, of course, you can say no to Florentino. I gave everything I had to Real Madrid. I did good things and bad things, but I gave it my all. My feeling is that I gave everything, and people respect me for that, with my successes and mistakes. But I don’t want to fuel stories that don’t exist. The reality is that I have one more year with Benfica, with a very easy clause to terminate by either party. There’s nothing left with Real Madrid. I would really like to eliminate Real Madrid, and for Arbeloa to win La Liga and stay with Real Madrid for a long time. He’s a great guy and he deserves it,”
