Work on the delayed €525 million revamp of Real Madrid's Bernabeu stadium will begin as soon as possible after the end of the season, president Florentino Perez has said.
"Luca is here on his own merit", Zidane said.
"I spoke recently with Anthony, Raphael's brother, so we discussed a little bit about the state of the market, so to speak", said Satin.
Many read this as Zidane beginning the process of convincing Pogba to leave United for the Bernabeu, but could Varane moving in the other direction could be seen as payback for those comments?
The Croatia midfielder moved to Stamford Bridge last summer on a season-long loan and has made 41 appearances for Maurizio Sarri's side. "You must have the personality to accept what the fans think". Talking about an overhaul shows a lack of respect.
Federation Internationale de Football Association are set to make a decision on their appeal before the summer transfer window opens but there would still be time for the club to seek an interim ruling at the CAS if things do not go their way.

You nearly begin to think: 'is it me? "He is doing very well, but he needs to improve more as the potential is very high". So we can look forward to Manchester City away now.
Varane, who has been linked with Manchester United, has been with Real Madrid since he was 18 after joining from French club Lens.
"This is an institution, a club with important people. Things are done collectively". The Frenchman picked him over the likes of Keylor Navas and Thibaut Courtois - both of whom, according to him, weren't match fit.
"At the moment there are three good goalkeepers and we are going to finish the season with them". The important thing is what he says to me, and he is now at the best club in the world.
Zidane also praised Marcelo, who has returned to his team, saying: "What he has done here as a player has been phenomenal". But there will be certainly no debate, I tell you that now.
There are suggestions that it would take Real Madrid president Florentino Perez's personal intervention to convince Bale to find the exit door. "He has been questioned a lot lately, but I want him to play many games from here until the end of the season".
