Zidane orders Florentino Pérez to go for Barça player

The Real Madrid will change this summer. There is even talk of revolution despite the three consecutive Champions finals.

All positions need retouching. And although the front will be the area with more sounded news, Zinedine Zidane considers necessary a reinforcement in the defense.

For weeks Florentino Perez has been dizzy with the signing of Samuel Umtiti , whose renewal by Barca is stagnant. Also the PSG and Manchester United as intended.

However, the azulgrana box already has tied to a new defense, also French and with quality to be titular: Clement Lenglet.  It would come endorsed by Leo Messi.

Zidane's strategy , expressed to the president in the form of demand, would be to sign one of the two French cracks. Florentino must go on the attack.

Zidane demands: Umtiti or Lenglet

Zizou's request is clear: if it is not possible to sign Umtiti for those 60 million in which its termination clause is assessed, Lenglet must be signed .

Obviously, Umtiti would do much more damage to Barça , but it is also twice as expensive and more difficult to convince despite the conversations that have taken place.
Instead, Lenglet has an escape clause in Sevilla of 30 or 35 million of euros -difieren versions- and is the great choice of Barça to meet disaster Yerry Mina.

The Colombian defender has a lot of physical potential and plays the ball well, but he is too slow to play at Barça. He is condemned to leave on loan.

The double fiasco of Barça: Mina and Vermaelen

While Thomas Vermaelen was injured again recently and, although he has demonstrated a very good level this course, will become the fourth center for a year. Ends contract in 2019 .

The idea is that Lenglet is, therefore, the third central defender of Barça, alternating with Umtiti and Piqué. And from 2019 you will see if Mina returns for Vermaelen or you have to re-sign.

The sports management of Barça has everything in mind and in Madrid they know it. That's why Zidane asks Florentino to take action. Lenglet should be easy to convince.
