Odriozola ignoring talk of €40m Real Madrid move

The Real Sociedad defender is focused on Spain's World Cup preparations and not the rumours suggesting he could be heading to the Santiago Bernabeu

Real Sociedad full-back Alvaro Odriozola insists he is not concerned about rumours linking him with a €40 million (£35m/$47m) transfer to Real Madrid.

The versatile 22-year-old has reportedly been a target for Madrid for some months and, according to Marca, has already told Zinedine Zidane's side that he would be willing to make the move.

However, the player says his sole focus is on preparing for Spain's World Cup warm-up match against Switzerland on Sunday.
