Raphael Varane did not want to discuss rumors of a desired move away from Real Madrid.

"I do not want to talk about my future. I am not one to discuss my future publicly," said Varane.

The defender went on to praise Zinedine Zidane's recent hire. 

"Nine months is not a long time. It was as if it was yesterday. I appreciate him both as a person and as a coach. He has been very important to me."
