Zidane is a tricky thing. Him and Redondo where the definitive midfielders i saw play when i was a kid. He had his peak at juventus in my opinion. After he left juventus, he was a bit less at madrid, and only really peaked for france.
This forum can accept zidane to be a juventus legend. But when you tell some neutral supporter, he'll tell you zidane was a madrid legend that gave them the 9th CL.

And as someone who worships the ground that Roby walks on, this statement can't be any truer. It was always said that Baggio does not belong to one club, but the whole of Italy. The guy made an impact practically everywhere he went.
But let's get a couple of things out there in regards to your first statement.
Juve basically told him to accept a huge paycut or he will get sold. And he was 28 at the time. Coming off a year where he had injuries, but 2 years removed from winning the Ballon D'or. Would you accept a huge paycut if you were him? (Anywhere between 50% and 66% of a paycut, depending on who you would believe).
At Inter, it was because he refused to rat out his teammates that were speaking ill of Lippi back then.

Cant be legend for two clubs of the same reputation. Altho Pirlo is making that a bit hard.
Because Pirlo was the face of juventus return to glory. Just like he was one of the main faces behind Milan and Italy successes during the 00's

Zidane moved to Real on his peak, instead of having it here.
Icon, not legend, would FM say

Zidane did leave when we had a campaign like the last one under Conte in europe.
Vidal and Pirlo left at what one would arguably call "the correct time".
What bothers me, is that every player in the legend section has had a long service at juventus, and is a genuine supporter of the club.
Zidane has had barely, if any, words on juventus. Most if not all of his words are about Madrid.
