Zidane key to Pogba/Madrid talks

Rumours that Real Madrid will bid to sign Paul Pogba continue to gather pace, with Marca suggesting Zinedine Zidane will be personally involved.

The Juventus youngster has been consistently linked with a switch away from Turin, with Paris Saint-Germain, Manchester United and Real Madrid all said to be interested.

And the Madrid-based paper has reported this morning that Los Blancos’ former midfielder and current assistant will try and persuade his countryman to choose Santiago Bernabeu as his next destination.

Zidane has been persistently going to the board at Real Madrid, asking them to stump up the cash for the 20-year-old, such is the belief in his talent.

And President Florentino Perez is apparently happy to back Zizou’s judgement, after he did the same for Raphael Varane.
