| Saul Niguez's father says his son does not want to leave Atletico Madrid |
Saul has been linked with a move to Old Trafford this week, with Spanish radio station Cadena Cope claiming United could make a £15million bid to sign the midfielder.
Arsenal and Liverpool are also interested in signing the 21-year-old, who only signed a new contract at the Vincente Calderon last year.
Saul has been promoted to Atletico's first team this season by Diego Simeone, and has played a key role in the club's rise to the top of La Liga.
The midfielder has scored five goals in 35 appearances for the Spanish club and has been capped 15 times by Spain at Under-21 level.
But Saul's father has admitted the player’s desire to stay in the Spanish capital could put an end to any chance of a deal with United.
“Saul has a [release] clause of €45million,” the midfielder’s father told Cadena Cope.
“At the moment the boy is happy at the club and doesn’t want to leave. He has the confidence of the club.”
