Zinedine Zidane Says Talk of Real Madrid Squad Overhaul Is 'Disrespectful'

Real Madrid boss Zinedine Zidane isn't prepared to discuss a summer clear-out of the squad, as he believes it would be "disrespectful" to his players.

Zidane returned as manager in March, having departed last year shortly after winning the UEFA Champions League for the third season running.

Per Marca's Santiago Siguero, he said:

"There are many things that we are talking about changing next year, but you have to respect all of the players who are here.

"Talking about cleaning [out the dressing room] seems disrespectful.
