REAL MADRID boss Zinedine Zidane has revealed he will not have the final say on transfers this summer.
Real Madrid is planning a huge summer revamp after a difficult season that has seen them employ three different managers.
Chelsea star Eden Hazard is understood to be their top target and he looks set to leave Stamford Bridge as he enters the final year of his contract.
Neymar is another player who is reportedly being tracked by the club.
Zidane has also admitted he is a huge fan of Manchester United star Paul Pogba, however, he insists the decision on what players to sign will not be solely down to him.
He said: “Will I have plenty of power to decide on transfers and signings? No.
“I’m not even the boss in my own home! There are people here who are very important to the club that helps make decisions and we want to make those together.”
Neymar recently revealed he would like to play alongside Hazard and Zidane teased fans by suggesting both could pair up at the Bernabeu next season.
“I would like to play with Hazard. He has a style similar to mine,” Neymar said last week.
“I think I could give it a try. We would cause havoc together!”
And when Zidane was asked whether they could play together, he replied: “Yes. A lot of players want to come here and play for Real Madrid, but let's see what happens in the future.”
Zidane was also pushed on the future of Gareth Bale who has been linked with a move away from the club.
Bale has been linked with Manchester United and Chelsea having become the scapegoat among fans for their struggles this term.
However, Zidane also claimed he hoped Bale would stay and hinted at the possibility of him playing alongside Hazard and Neymar in a star-studded front line.
“Yes,” he said. “All the good players can play together.
“People told me that I wasn't compatible with [fellow World Cup winner, Yuri] Djorkaeff. What a lot of nonsense, man!
“You can see that Bale is happy. Whether he plays or doesn't play... he's had playing time under me.
“At the end of the season we'll see what's what. I'm not the one who says what Gareth has to do now. He's a player who's part of our plans.
“He has played and he will play more before the end of the season.”
