Zidane warns Perez against slowing down in closing the strategic signing: “Now or never”
Despite his absence from Real Madrid for two years, Zinedine Zidane is still in constant contact with Florentino Perez. In fact, he called him a few days ago to congratulate him on winning the Club World Cup.
In addition, as it was rumored for several weeks, the Frenchman will be one of the White President’s favorites to coach the team next season, in the event that Carlo Ancelotti does not continue to lead.
Zidane would be happy to face a third spell on the bench at the Whites, although he also has other offers from Juventus, Paris Saint-Germain and Olympique de Marseille.
In one of those usual calls and conversations for both of them, the Madrid legend wanted to talk to him about a promising player this season who would be a great strategic signing for next season.
Rayan Cherki is the rising talent in the French First Division this season with Olympique Lyonnais. At 19 years old, he is the captain of the French team’s midfield and one of the most decisive players in the tournament.
Zidane confessed to Florentino Perez that he is a footballer who loves him and that he will be a star in the future. Moreover, Cherki has always said that he is a big fan of Real Madrid and that he wants to succeed at the Bernabéu.
The former coach of the Whites put him on the map and now the club, who have been pursuing him for a while, can put around €40m on the table to seal his signature.
In addition, a point in favor of Real Madrid is that it maintains very good relations with Olympique Lyonnais, which will facilitate the process and it will not be necessary to go to exorbitant sums.
However, PSG is also looking for very young talent who will be called up sooner rather than later by Deschamps to the French national team. Aiming for a global star.
This new intervention by Paris Saint-Germain made Zidane very clear with Florentino: “Now or never,” because if it was decided, finally, not to sign an Oriental, it is likely that the Parisian entity will do so next summer.
