Harry Kane, Neymar, Mbappé … These players and others are often mentioned on the side of Real at the approach of each Mercato. After five seasons without signing a Galactic, Real will resume its policy of reinforcement with the return of Zidane.
The French technician will have to make important choices to give new life to the White House, which sank in chess after his departure. Which players are getting closer to the Merengue? These footballers who appear in the small papers of Zizou?
Mbappé
Real crazy Kylian Mbappé. The Paris Saint-Germain striker was close to joining the Blancos in 2017. Zidane had actively participated in convincing him to accept the offer of Madrid, but the PSG drew him into his net. The world champion likes Paris. A few days ago, Mbappé himself said in an interview with Telefoot that he plans to stay at PSG next season. However, the return of Zidane to Madrid could change the situation.
Hazard
The star of Chelsea recognized him “himself”. His childhood dream was to play one day for Madrid. Zidane is seduced by the Belgian but FIFA’s sanction that prohibits Chelsea to recruit until January 2020 can upset the plans of the French technician. The Blues may refuse to release their star as they will need reinforcements. The lease of Hazard with the English club runs until June 30, 2020. If Chelsea does not sell it this summer, it would be free within a year and a half.
Sadio Mané
The Lion of the Teranga of Liverpool is another old desire of Zidane. According to the Spanish media, the Reds striker was on the verge of signing with the Madrid club this season. However, the departure of Zidane and the arrival of Lopetegui aborted the transfer. Sadio Mané is one of Zizou’s priorities. Back on the bench of Real, he should revive the Senegalese international.
Pogba
The midfielder of the Red Devils wants to be under the leadership of Zidane, reports AS. In 2016, the leaders of Madrid had begun negotiations but the operation of seduction has not yielded results. It would now be enough for Zidane to put the French name on the table so that Florentino Prerez can accept the transfer. The Madrid coach is interested in the transfer of Pogba which is worth the astronomical sum of 150 million, adds the Spanish daily.
Neymar
Zidane considers him an excellent player but the Brazilian is not on his list of priorities. However, attracting Neymar is Florentino Pérez’s most desired dream. Zidane believes that there are other players who can do the trick instead of the child prodigy of Brazil, according to information from the Spanish press.
Kane
As he was close to joining the Merengue, the Tottenham striker moved away more and more. The international English seduces Perez but For Zidane, no need to recruit to such player when we have a certain … Benzema. Zizou trusts the French player, even more after the departure of Cristiano Ronado. Zinedine prefers that the 250 million, which will bring back Harry Kane, be invested in other players.
Note that Zinedine Zidane attracted his first recruit a few days after his arrival. It is the Brazilian defender Eder Militao (FC Porto) who signed a 6-year contract with Real Madrid.
