Raphael Varane 'Will Stay' at Real Madrid, Says Zinedine Zidane

Real Madrid boss Zinedine Zidane said Raphael Varane will remain at the club amid speculation he could leave this summer.

The Frenchman spoke about his compatriot on Sunday after Real slipped to a 1-0 defeat to Rayo Vallecano, who climbed off the bottom of La Liga with their win.

Per Goal's Dejan Kalinic, he said: "The positive point of this season finale is that Varane will stay."

It was the fourth time in the last six matches that Real have failed to win, and Zidane is eager for the season to be over:

"I've been gone for a while and now I'm back, I do not have any problems with that right now.
