Luka Jovic has made clear that he will stay at Real Madrid this season amid rumours of a possible loan move.
Rumours began circulating in his native Serbia about the 21-year-old possibly being shipped out for more regular playing time but the player himself has shrugged off such claims.
"Stories like that [of me moving on loan] make me laugh, as the media will always engage in such stories," he told Novosti.
"I have been used to all kinds of rumours since the beginning of my professional career.
"I have accepted the fact that they can always be there, and time will tell which ones are true," he stated.
"[Zidane] believes in me and his opinion hasn't changed during the time that we've been working together.
"I am learning from him day by day and I am very satisfied because he is, as a player and coach, one of the best in world football."
