Zidane Returns to Train Madrid, Los Blancos Aiming for Neymar and Mbappe

DBasia.news –  Real Madrid’s 2018-19 season is decorated with inconsistencies from the board of directors who first pointed and fired Julen Lopetegui. The Spanish coach was kicked out in October 2018 after Madrid’s 1-5 defeat from Barcelona.

Their successor, Santiago Solari also only lasted for five months and immediately lost his position as he failed to deliver Sergio Ramos and his mates to the Copa del Rey final while also being eliminated in the last 16 of the Champions League.

The mystery as well as the public’s curiosity on who will be Santiago Solari’s successor at Real Madrid is finally answered. Surprisingly, the club that owns 33 La Liga titles chose to repatriate Zinedine Zidane and has officially signed him until the next 2022.

Now after Zidane returns, Madrid is preparing to shop players on a large scale in the summer of 2019, especially they have also not found a replacement for Cristiano Ronaldo.

As is known, last season the club even brought in only four players, namely Mariano Diaz, Alvaro Odriozola and two goalkeepers, Thibaut Courtois and Andriy Lunin. While in the January transfer window they only brought in Brahim Diaz from Manchester City.

Madrid’s seriousness in the transfer market is also suspected to be the reason for Zidane’s departure, but now it seems the club has learned from their mistakes. Florentino Perez, as the club’s president, signaled that they would actively shop for players and were ready to bring in two names that were already the main targets, which are Neymar and Kylian Mbappe who are now strengthening PSG.

“Zidane is from France, maybe he can do something with Kylian Mbappe. At present, the club’s concentration is to end the 2108/19 season well. After that, we will prepare ourselves for the 2019/20 season,” Perez said as quoted by Goal. .

“Who will I choose? Mbappe or Neymar? Maybe both,” added the 72-year-old man.

Real Madrid seem to have started planning to add strength to his squad in the summer of 2019, in addition to Neymar and Mbappe, the club is also reported to have begun negotiating with Real Betis to bring Giovani Lo Celso.
