Zidane shuts door on Marcelo leaving Real Madrid

Zinedine Zidane has shut the door on Marcelo leaving Real Madrid this summer.

Real president Florentino Perez was able to convince Zidane to return with several major assurances. Zidane was confirmed coach after Real's dismissal of Santiago Solari last night.

And one of the demands Florentino accepted was to block Marcelo leaving for Juventus this summer, says AS.

The veteran has been pushing to be released at the end of the season so to join Juve. However, Zidane's return has changed the landscape.

The Frenchman is insisting the left-back is a required player for next season.
