Real Madrid manager Zinedine Zidane has responded to the reports linking Kylian Mbappe with a move to the LaLiga giants.
Los Blancos failed to sign a single new player in the recent transfer window, despite being linked with a host of players.
There are reports in Spain claiming Real are looking to sign the 2018 World Cup winner for the 2021/2022 season.
When asked about if his previous comments about Mbapppe were a transfer hint, he told reporters, "No, this has always happened. There are always a lot of rumours and I am not just talking about Mbappe.
"It will not affect our group, but as you know it is over because the market has closed and we have this group to fight until the end."
Los Blancos have also been linked with Mbappe's France teammate Eduardo Camavinga and Borussia Dortmund striker Erling Haaland.
