Zidane expects Cheryshev exit from Real Madrid

The Russia international has made just two La Liga appearances for the Spanish giants this season.

Cheryshev has been linked with a move away, with Liverpool, Sevilla and Villarreal among those reportedly interested.

Zidane said he was open to the 25-year-old finding a new club on the final day of the transfer window.

"Yes, we are going to see tomorrow but I think that he could still leave," he said after his side's 6-0 thrashing of Espanyol on Sunday.

"The important thing for him is to have playing time. He is a great player, he needs time and I wish him the best.

"If he has the chance to leave and play, then I am delighted for him.

"We will see tomorrow."

A youth product of Madrid, Cheryshev has spent time out on loan at Sevilla and Villarreal during his stay.
