LUCA ZIDANE is set to leave Real Madrid after 16 years at the club – despite dad Zinedine being in the top job.
The goalkeeper joined Los Blancos at the age of six and spent the last season on loan at Racing Santander.

Zidane junior is out of contract and according to the Evening Standard, the 22-year-old will not be offered new terms.
The French stopper made his first team debut in the final league game of the 2017-18 season.
That was also Zinedine’s last game before his shock exit, having won the Champions League in each of his first three seasons as a manager.
And the ruthless Los Blancos boss will reportedly not hand his son a life-line since returning to the top job at the Bernabeu.
Lucas is said to be in talks with Ligue 1 side Montpellier as he plans his future.
Madrid’s back-up goalkeeper for the last season was Alphonse Areola, but he will return to Paris Saint-Germain after his loan deal ended.
The French shot-stopper, 27, has been linked with a move to Chelsea this summer with the club desperate to offload club-record signing Kepa Arrizabalaga.
Los Blancos look set to promote Andriy Lunin to take Areola’s place next term as Thibaut Courtois’ understudy.
