Real Madrid president Florentino says Zidane deal will be settled

Real Madrid president Florentino Perez says coach Zinedine Zidane will soon sign his new deal.

Perez told El Transistor that both parties are happy with the situation.

He said: "He has always relied on a person's words and what we have said to each other. He's the only player who never asked for more money. I asked him what he earned at Juventus, he told me and I told him what I would give him at Real Madrid. It wasn't a problem."

"He identifies a lot with Real so we don't discuss money. If you are a professional, Real do pay well."

"He isn't someone who is attached to money. He believes that money comes as a result of a job well done. First, work hard then the money will come. He doesn't have money in his head permanently."
