German World Cup winner Christoph Kramer will not be leaving the Bundesliga for Real Madrid anytime soon, his agent has said.
The 23-year-old is currently in his second season on loan with Borussia Mönchengladbach from parent club Bayer Leverkussen. Some reports in the press in both Germany and Spain have linked the player with a move to the 10-time Champions League winners, perhaps on the back of Toni Kroos slotting in so well at the Santiago Bernabeu since he arrived from Germany in the summer.
But speaking to German sports paper Bild, Kramer’s agent René Von Bruch said the player is going nowhere soon.
“Christoph is concentrated on Gladbach at the moment and from the summer, he has a contract with Leverkeusen (once his loan spell finishes). Real Madrid is not an option,” he stated.
Kramer hit the headlines this week after scoring a spectacular own goal while playing against Borussia Dortmund. Under no pressure, he lobbed is own keeper from some 45 metres out.
He was also unfortunate in the World Cup final having to be taken off in the first half suffering concussion. He had stepped in for the injured Sami Khedira, but after a clash of heads with an Argentinean defender, he asked the referee “Is this the final?” prompting the match official to inform German player Bastian Schweinsteiger his team mate could do with replacing.
