Real Madrid’s Zinedine Zidane has debunked speculation concerning Gareth Bale and Paul Pogba in the build-up toReal’s penultimate LaLiga game of the season at Real Sociedad.

Zidane remained tight-lipped over the latest developments involving the Welshman, whom reports suggest will reject a move this summer despite being told he is no longer part of the club's plans.

And Zidane also shrugged off persistent suggestions his club are to launch a bid to prize France star Pogba away from Manchester United.

Responding to a question regarding the reported comments made by Bale's agent, Zidane told a press conference: “I don't want to answer that because I'm the Real Madrid coach and he's just doing his job.

“I need to be thinking about tomorrow's game and us performing well. We've had a good week of preparations and what I'm concerned about is that we have a good game to be involved in.”

On the situation regarding Pogba, Zidane replied: “Every coach and football lover likes good players. He's a Manchester United player and I'm not going to discuss signings with you.”

Zidane, who expects to have Karim Benzema available after injury, also appeared to take a swipe at rivals Barcelona after their midweek Champions League capitulation to Liverpool.

Despite insisting rival coach Ernesto Valverde has done a “tremendous job" with Barca, Zidane stressed his own club's record of four titles in the competition in the last five seasons.

Zidane said: “Nobody can take away what we did in the Champions League in the last few years.

“The Champions League, as we've seen this year, is really tough. It's a competition where anything can happen. It was a real struggle to win it and that's why we place such value on these four Champions League crowns.

“He (Valverde) has done a tremendous job so far. I'm nobody to say whether it (the criticism) is  justified or not. He knows how things work.”
