Zinedine Zidane says that Real Madrid are set for big changes this summer after a disappointing season.

Zidane, who returned to the Bernabeu as manager in March replacing Santiago Solari after a poor start to the campaign, says the club could sell valuable players as part of a squad overhaul to generate funds.

Matt Dickinson tells Sunday Supplement that selling Eden Hazard could benefit Chelsea in the same way the sales of Luis Suarez and Philippe Coutinho benefited Liverpool.

"Here there are many players that can bring in cash for the club.

"The changes will be made known at the end of the season. We will see what changes we make and which players we will change."

Chelsea winger Eden Hazard and Manchester United midfielder Paul Pogba are two of the names most prominently linked with a transfer to the Santiago Bernabeu this summer.

Meanwhile, Gareth Bale is among the high-value Madrid players to have struggled for form this season.
