Real Madrid were never interested in signing Moussa Sissoko, according to Marca, via 101 Great Goals.
Sissoko has already issued a come and get me plea to Madrid as he desperately looks to force through a move away from Championship side Newcastle but his hopes of a huge move to the European Champions appeared to have been dashed.
After missing out on Paul Pogba, Madrid had been linked with a move to Sissoko following his impressive exploits with France in the latter stages of Euro 2016.
Only two players have completed more dribbles in the last four Premier League campaigns than Sissoko (271).
