Miguel Torres has stated that he has no intention of leaving Real Madrid, but knows that he will have to impress if he wants to stay at the club next summer.

The 22-year-old impressed in los Merengues’ first pre-season friendly on Sunday and hopes that coach Bernd Schuster was pleased with his performance.

Starting his third season in the first team, Torres now wants to claim a regular place in the side rather than contemplate having to join a new club.

“Several teams have been mentioned, but my intention is to stay here. It was difficult to rise up to the first team and I am conscious that in my third season I cannot waste time,” he told Marca.

“I have to be strong and I have been working hard since day one so that nobody has any doubts about me and that I have the confidence of the coach.”

In the encounter with LASK Linz at the weekend, Torres played at left-back and in the centre and he is pleased to have been trusted to move into the middle.

“I want to have more continuity this season. Things have started very well, the team clearly knows the system and we know how we have to play,” he continued.

“Despite hard training sessions that we are doing, I think we played well.

“It is very important that the coach counts on me and that he knows I can do well in more than one position. I hope to be able to more this season.”
