Real Madrid coach rules out departures in winter transfer window
Madrid, Nov 27 (IANS) Real Madrid coach Zinedine Zidane on Monday ruled out any departures during the winter transfer window, but opened the door for more footballers to join La Liga’s defending champions.
During the previous transfer window, players such as forward Alvaro Morata and defender Pepe left the club, prompting talk about how much it has affected the club’s performance, reports Efe.
“I’m very happy with my squad, that’s why I don’t want anyone to leave, but in football anything can happen. When the window opens we’ll talk, there could be movement or not. I’m sure that nobody is going,” Zidane said at a press conference on the eve of the second leg of the Spanish Cup round of 32.
“There is talk in the press of a forward and a goalkeeper. We know that we can sign but at the moment we’re not looking at that,” he added.
Zidane also revealed that Welsh forward Gareth Bale was fit for Tuesday’s Copa del Rey match against Madrid minnows Fuenlabrada, after recovering from a hamstring injury.
He expressed the hope that his famous attacking trident — Karim Benzema, Bale and Cristiano Ronaldo — would play together again.
However, Zidane’s hopes are not likely to materialise, as Ronaldo and Benzema are to be given a rest in Tuesday’s match.

The left-handed batsman from Haryana is garnering praise from all quarters for the way he’s finishing games regularly in the most exciting IPL season.
Gavaskar reckons Tewatia’s whirlwind knock in Sharjah (in IPL 2020) where he smashed West Indies pacer Sheldon Cottrell for five sixes in an over, gave him the confidence that he belongs to the big stage.
Speaking on Cricket Live on Star Sports, Gavaskar said, “That assault on Sheldon Cottrell in Sharjah gave him the belief to do the impossible and the confidence that he belongs here. We saw the impossible (he did with the bat) the other day as well. There’s no twitching or touching the pads (which shows a batter’s nervousness) when he bats in the death overs. He just waits for the ball to be delivered and plays his shots. He’s got all the shots in the book, but most importantly his temperament to stay cool in a crisis is brilliant.”
Gavaskar has also nicknamed the 28-year-old cricketer the ‘ice-man’ and lauded Tewatia’s ability to remain unruffled during the tense moments.
