  German dismisses Real talk
  
  
  
  Michael Ballack has responded to speculation about his future by stressing his commitment to Chelsea.
  
  The German midfielder, who only joined Chelsea last summer, has been linked with a move to Real Madrid.
  
  According to reports in Spain, Real are hoping to strike a double deal for Ballack and Arjen Robben.
  
  But Ballack has been quick to dispel the rumours by insisting he is happy in London and has had no contact with Real.
  
  In a statement on the club's official website, Ballack said: "I am totally committed to Chelsea.
  
  "I came here to win trophies and be successful in English football, I want to assure the Chelsea fans of that.
  
  "I am very happy in London professionally and for my family. The speculation about me leaving is not true.
  
  "I have no interest in leaving Chelsea and I have had no contact with Real Madrid whatsoever.
  
  "I am frustrated by my injury at the moment but I am working hard to be fit and hope to be back very soon to join my team-mates."
  
  Agent admits contact
  
  Ballack's agent, however, has told the German press that he is in contact with Real Madrid about a possible move.
  
  Michael Becker is quoted as telling Kicker that there was 'indirect contact' with the Spanish club.
  
  But Becker also said he had advised Real to contact Chelsea to continue negotiations.

  Chelsea should take this chance and sell Ballack for a huge profit as if they don't, they can expect Ballack's value to drop drastically after the end of next season. He must definitely buck up if he wants to continue to receive 131k per week

  Of course he's committed... Where else can he get such a ridiculously high pay.
