Zidane confesses Neymar admiration

Since leaving Barcelona last summer, Neymar has been linked with a return to La Liga with arch-rivals Real Madrid. While heaping praise on the Brazilian, Zidane insisted there would be no incomings at the Santiago Bernabeu this month.

"Neymar? I'm not talking about players who aren't mine," the Real Madrid boss said at his pre-match press conference for Sunday's match against Deportivo La Coruña. "Having said that, he's very important and loved by all of football. He's a great player.''

"Ceballos? I think he's happy, he said so," Zidane insisted. "People can say what they want, but I'll take his opinion. He's the present and future of this club. Signings? None. The club and I are never going to have problems."

"If something needs to be talked about, it's always with the club. We're not going to sign anyone," the Frenchman concluded.
