“It’s not true,” Lippi told Radio Kiss Kiss Napoli on Thursday. “I don’t dislike being linked with a big club like Real Madrid, but there is nothing concrete.

“I don’t know what Zidane and Perez said to each other, I simply read about it in the papers,” continued the former Napoli and Inter tactician.

“But I have two more years on my contract in Guangzhou and I feel good there from all points of view. It hasn’t happened yet, but if there was a call, I’m still under contract.”
