Real Madrid coach Zinedine Zidane is putting his foot down over the future of Raphael Varane.

The France defender has hinted he is prepared to explore his options at the end of this season.

But Okdiario's chief pundit Eduardo Inda, speaking on El Chiringuito, declared: "To Mr. Varane he has already convinced Zidane that he has to be and will remain with Real Madrid next season.

"He is 26 years old and has to stay because he is an exemplary player inside and outside the field. Real Madrid could've been more sensitive when he became as a world champion."
