NEYMAR, MBAPPE, KANTE AND OTHER SUPER TRANSFERS ZIZU’S APPOINTMENT MAY ATTRACT TO MADRID

Reports say Zinedine Zidane’s reappointment as Real Madrid manager 10 months after he left the job may be just the bait that the club needs to attract some of the world class signings like Neymar, Mbappe, Kante, Hazard, Rashford and Eriksen.
There are reports that part of the agrrement Zizu had with the club management was to be able to include some of these bunch of talents into his team.
Speaking to reporters after presenting Zidane to the media, club president, Perez admitted he hopes that the presence of the France legend at the helm once more might tempt the 20-year-old star to Madrid.
“Zidane’s French so maybe he could do something with Mbappe,” Perez, with a laugh, told reporters.
When pressed over whether he believed Mbappe could be convinced to join Madrid, the club president deflected, instead saying their focus was on finishing the season.
“Right now, all we are concerned with is ending the season well and start preparing for next season,” Perez said.
Neymar has also been rumoured as a Madrid target, with reports suggesting the club would shatter the transfer record PSG paid for the Brazilian while offering to make him the highest-paid footballer in the world.
It has also been reported that such a move would take Madrid out of the race, at least in the short term, for Mbappe, given the cost of landing both stars.
The club’s legend was also said to have made demands for certain players who were already falling out of favour with the management to remain in the team.
