Florentino Pérez's plan to 'recover' Zinedine Zidane

A pair of years after his exit of the Real Madrid, results striking that Zinedine Zidane follow without training. The ex French footballer has had interesting offers of Paris Saint-Germain, Juventus and other clubs to go back to the benches, but has not concretised at all. It is thus that Florentino Pérez has fixed in him like a possible key piece for the new sportive organisation chart white, thinking to average and long term.

As it advances 'ACE', the president 'merengue' would be by the work of fichar to 'Zizou' with a sportive charge that well could be like adviser, adviser or technical director if the things with Carlo Ancelotti complicated in the next months. Zinedine already went adviser in the 2011-12 and, later, went assistant of 'Carletto' in the 2013-14. The following season directed to the Castilla and, in 2016, took the reins of the first team until 2018. A year later returned, after the failure of the era Lopetegui.

Zidane, a key piece for the 'operation Mbappé'

Further of the affection of Florentino to Zidane, his return hides a very clear intention: that the Frenchman serve of mediator to convince to Kylian Mbappé of fichar by the Madrid. The '7' of the PSG has manifested his idolatría by 'Zizou' and have he in the 'White House', well was in the directive or in the bench, can resolve the much faster negotiations in favour of the 'merengues'.

The movement, this yes, aims more thinking in the signing of Mbappé in 2024 that this year. The PSG has left clear his intention to retain to his star at all costs and the same player has resignado to expect a year more to go out, as long as it opt for activating the clause that will allow him terminate his agreement next summer. Besides, Florentino prioritises ficharle to 'cost zero', as his relations with Nasser To the-Khelaïfi are not at all cordial.

The return of Zidane will not be circunstancial

"I go me because the club does not give me the confidence that need", said Zidane in 2021 when confirming his second exit of the bench 'merengue'. Thus, Florentino knows that, to convince him to go back, will have to offer him guarantees much more there of the possibility to direct again to the first team. If Zidane returns to Santiago Bernabéu will have to have can of decision and autonomy to manage signings. The relation between Pérez and 'Zizou' always has been cordial, but his last very complicated exit and the mandator knows that it has to compensate him. In the meantime, Mbappé expects with caution.
