Manchester City's inspirational skipper Vincent Kompany says a move to Spain is not an option at the moment, having pledged his long-term future to the champions.
The 26-year-old Belgium international signed a new six-year contract with the Premier League title holders in the summer and says he has no desire to try his luck in La Liga for the time being.
I am convinced that I can win just as many honours with City as I could with Barcelona or Real Madrid.

Kompany moved to England from Hamburg in the summer of 2008 and led his side to FA Cup glory in May 2011, before being a key figure in a first league title success since 1968 last term.
The central defender told The Sun: "It would take me time at another club to reach the level I have achieved with City. Even then there would be no guarantee I could do it.
"I am convinced that I can win just as many honours with City as I could with Barcelona or Real Madrid.
"Whoever goes to play for Real will be in Ronaldo's shadow and whoever joins Barca will be overshadowed by Messi. So I prefer to be captain of Manchester City.
"I feel very much at home here and am able to live a normal life."
City are 51.00 to retain their top-flight crown this season, while they are 10001.00 to win the Champions League for the first time in their history.
