Zinedine Zidane has dismissed speculation that any of James Rodriguez, Alvaro Morata or Pepe will leave Real Madrid in January.

James in particular openly talked about leaving Real Madrid.

"James is a Madrid player, an important player," Zidane said. "It was a difficult moment, when you do not play in a final you are angry. I understand that. But that is all past now. We have spoken. He is a Madrid player and wants to be here at the best club in the world. Nothing else. We will keep working hard, which is important."

Pepe's contract is up at the end of this season and he's been linked to a substantial offer from the Chinese Super League.

"Pepe is our player, he is important for us," Zidane said. "He has been here many years, has made history with this club and I hope he stays. I am not interested in speculation, just in what he can do for us from now until the end."

Morata has been linked to a return to Juventus as he's played sparingly for Real Madrid.

"I do not believe this information is correct," Zidane said. "[Morata] looks happy to me to be here. He is at home here. He is working well, very focused on the project here, and nothing else. You could ask him."
