Christoph Kramer has renewed his contract with Bayer Leverkusen, extending his terms until 2019.

Kramer had been linked with a January move to Real Madrid.

Kramer is currently on loan with Borussia Monchengladbach.

“Following discussions with Leverkusen officials there was little doubt about extending my contract,” Kramer said. “I have been with Bayer 04 since my youth, and it was always my dream to play there, in the first team.”

“I have succeeded thanks to loan spells at VfL Bochum and Borussia Monchengladbach. It is great happiness for me.”

It had been reported in both the Spanish and German media that Kramer was being targeted by Real Madrid following the injury suffered by midfielder Luka Modric.

Klaas-Jan Huntelaar has signed a contract extension at Schalke until 2017 with the option for a further year.

Huntelaar has scored 101 goals in 160 competitive games for Schalke since arriving from AC Milan in 2010.

Eden Hazard will reportedly sign a five-year contract with Chelsea worth around £200,000-a-week.

"He will [sign]," said José Mourinho. "My club always told me that the situation would finish with a new contract, so I was never worried about that."

Mourinho also said Hazard has the potential to become a club legend, but warned: "He needs to win titles."

Mourinho said: "I don't know players who are considered legends in clubs without winning titles, so he has to do that but the potential, I think, everybody knows."

Hazard has been working without an agent on negotiations.

Bradley Wright-Phillips has signed with the New York Red Bulls as a designated player for the 2015 season.

"Following his outstanding performances in 2014, which produced 31 goals in all competitions, the club has decided to make Bradley Wright-Phillips a MLS Designated Player," said New York Red Bulls Sporting Director Andy Roxburgh. 

"Bradley is not only a prolific goal scorer, he is an excellent professional and a great team player who will be a big asset to the club in the coming seasons."

Wright-Phillips joined the club midseason in 2013.
