The Spain international had previously toiled under Santiago Solari, often having to make do with a place on the bench.
But, with Zidane back, he wants to stay.
His cause may not be helped by the signing of Hazard, however, who will provide yet more competition for attacking places.
News of Zidane confessing about Hazard and Isco comes at a time where:
Meanwhile, pundit Chris Sutton believes Real should prioritise Manchester City’s Raheem Sterling over a deal for Hazard.
“You have to say that Raheem Sterling is now world class.
“If you were Real Madrid boss Zinedine Zidane, surely you would want to buy him over Eden Hazard?
“Is there anything Sterling cannot do? His weight of pass is superb, his movement off the ball is lethal and he has become deadly in front of goal.
“What defender in the world would want to face Sterling in this form? It doesn’t matter if you take him on or back off — either way he will destroy you.
“He is still just 24 and improving year on year. His wonderful performances for England in the last two games have confirmed that he can thrive on the international stage.”
