Ghana midfielder Michael Essien will not swap Chelsea for Real Madrid according to his agent Fabian Piveteau.
The Ghanaian has been linked with a move away from Stanford Bridge this season with Real Madrid the latest club in the frame.
But Essien, who has four years left on his contract, is not keen to leave Chelsea for Real even though he still retains close contact with coach Jose Mourinho.
"He regularly has Jose Mourinho on the phone because they know each other well and have got on with each other since Jose was in charge of Chelsea", Piveteau was quoted as saying in the Sun.
"But Real Madrid has never really appealed to him. Michael will stay at Chelsea, where he has another four years left on his contract.
"He's very happy there, in a great city and a very good club which comes up against very good teams week in, week out."
Essien joined Chelsea from Lyon in 2005 in a deal worth £24.4-million pounds at the time Mourinho was manager at Chelsea.
