Real Madrid coach Zinedine Zidane has blocked Marcos Llorente from leaving this week.

AS says offers have flooded in for the midfielder in recent days, with 35 tabled to Real and the player.

Sevilla, Valencia, Atletico Madrid and even PSG made contact, but Zidane blocked negotiations.

Zidane made it clear to management that Llorente was a required player - and that he would help him develop this season.

The coach is aware of Llorente's impatience, but will assure the youngster in the coming days the best place for him is Real and under his guidance.
