“I don’t see him as people have said recently, he looks happy and committed in what he is doing.” Zidane’s comments could be seen as a way of fending off interest from other clubs, but Varane himself recently claimed he was content in the Spanish capital.

Varane said: “To say that I am not happy at Real Madrid is not true. “I’m at Real Madrid. The biggest club in the world. I’m constantly in a state of challenging myself because the requirement here is that of the highest level.

“I’m focused on my career. We had a tough time in the middle of the season where we had to fight. I’ve given my all in this shirt and I can be proud of that. “I cannot control everything that’s said [in the media]. Many things aren’t right but I can’t say I’m unhappy in Madrid.
