World Footballer of the Year Zinedine Zidane says he would be happy to extend his contract with the club until 2006.
"I'd like to add on another year because I'm very happy here in Madrid," he said.
"In the three years I've been here I can only say good things about Real Madrid and if the club wants to extend my stay then I'd be glad to look at that option."
"But I don't want to extend it any longer than that because it is better to leave the way open for new players."
"Nowadays we have to play nearly 60 games a season and it is like having two seasons in one so players will have to retire earlier. It is very difficult for a player of say 36 or 37 years of age to play that number of games."
