If not, he is still our player and he carries on working hard. "Every day will be more difficult because we are happy with him and we don't have to sell."Benitez also urged Sissoko not to publicly court interest from other clubs, with three years still to run on his deal at St James' Park. He added: "I told Moussa we know how things work in modern football and that is not the right way."I said, 'You are a professional, you are our player, I rate you very highly and I like you as a person - keep working hard and let other people do their business'."  Benitez also confirmed that the player will be included in Newcastle's squad when they host Huddersfield Town on Saturday.Sissoko had told the BBC on Thursday: "I hope Real will come for me, I'm still waiting. "If Real Madrid are interested in you then of course you will be happy, but right now I am still a Newcastle player."Sissoko played in 37 Premier League matches last season as Newcastle were unable to avoid dropping into the second tier.</blockquote>
