Raphael Varane is reportedly ready to reject a summer switch to Manchester United to sign for Juventus instead.
The Real Madrid defender has been strongly linked with a move to Old Trafford.
However, the Red Devils face competition for his signature from some of Europe's elite.
It has emerged that Varane is edging closer to a move to Juventus after the 25-year-old reportedly informed Madrid of his decision to leave the Bernanbeu at the end of the season.
Madrid manager Zidane has denied Varane is unsettled, and instead states the centre-back couldn't be happier.
"I can tell you he is very happy here, has been here eight years, has done phenomenal so far," Zidane said.

"I don’t see him as people have said recently, he looks happy and committed in what he is doing."
Zidane's comments could be seen as a way of fending off interest from other clubs, but Varane himself recently claimed he was content in the Spanish capital.
Varane said: "To say that I am not happy at Real Madrid is not true.
"I’m at Real Madrid. The biggest club in the world. I’m constantly in a state of challenging myself because the requirement here is that of the highest level.

"I’m focused on my career. We had a tough time in the middle of the season where we had to fight. I’ve given my all in this shirt and I can be proud of that.
"I cannot control everything that’s said [in the media]. Many things aren’t right but I can’t say I’m unhappy in Madrid.
"We had a tough season, it’s the daily routine for players at the top.
"I’m discreet and the problem when you’re a quiet person is you hear many things but talk little about yourself."
