ZINEDINE ZIDANE has quit Real Madrid - and reports in Spain say a proposed Chelsea deal was a key reason behind his decision to leave.


The Frenchman announced today he will leave Real after two-and-a-half years at the club.

Zidane called an unexpected press conference, where he broke the news of his decision to quit the Spanish giants.

And according to Spanish news outlet Don Balon, a proposed Chelsea swap deal was the final straw for Zidane.

They say Real were desperate to sign Blues talisman Eden Hazard, however, Chelsea insisted Karim Benzema was included in the deal.

Zidane wanted Real to go all out for Hazard but he didn’t want to lose Benzema in the process.
