Tottenham Hotspur manager Mauricio Pochettino says he is extremely happy at Spurs and has big dreams and many objectives to achieve in the North London club according to Talksport.
The Spurs manager was apparently a top candidate to lead the Bernabeu following Frenchman Zinedine Zidane's abrupt resignation that shook the football world following his third successful Champions League trophy.
It is understood, that Los Blancos thought that Spurs may have opened the door for the possibility of a buyout clause in Pochettino's recently renewed five-year contract.

However, according to Sky Sports, sources within Tottenham revealed that no such buyout clause exists in the Argentine's contract with the club.
And it was only but 10 days ago that Pochettino put pen to paper and extended his stay with the North London outfit for another five years.
Speaking at the Spanish launch of his new book A New World, in Barcelona, the Spaniard expressed his complete satisfaction with his current contract and pride in his team.
"I'm so happy in Tottenham and I'm so proud that Tottenham showed me the commitment and trust in the way that Daniel Levy ( Spurs chairman) showed me 10 days ago, we have a lot of dreams, we have a lot of objectives" he said.
