Zinedine Zidane has rubbished rumours Cristiano Ronaldo and Gareth Bale could be on their way back to the Premier League.
The Real Madrid coach, who led the side to Champions League glory as a player, said they were a club which bought the best players in the world and not one that sells them.
Zidane was made the most expensive player in the world when Madrid paid Juventus £50million for him in 2001. The Spanish giants broke that record paying £80m for Ronaldo in 2009 and then again with an £86m deal for Bale in 2013
The Frenchman finished his career at Madrid, and when asked by Shortlist if the club would be selling its two most expensive stars, he was adamant Ronaldo and Bale would not be leaving.
'Big players are what people want to read about, so that is why they are written about,' said Zidane.
'But why would Real Madrid have any intention of selling the best player in the world?
'No he [Ronaldo] is not for sale, it wouldn’t make sense.'
'Of course clubs are going to want Gareth [Bale], he is one of the best in the world, but I am not sure how much clearer we can be.
'Gareth has made it clear, his agent has made it clear, we have made it clear, his future is at Real Madrid.
'We sign the best players in the world, we don’t sell them.'
