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.”

NEYMAR has dropped another transfer hint to Real Madrid by revealing he wants to play with Los Blancos' top target Eden Hazard.

The Paris Saint-Germain star continues to be the subject of plenty of speculation, which is centered on him potentially returning to La Liga.
With Zinedine Zidane expected to spend a boatload of cash this summer to rejuvenate his dispirited Real Madrid squad, Neymar and Chelsea winger Hazard are high on his shopping list.
Zidane will have been offered hope about his chances of sealing summer transfers for the pair when hearing one answer from Neymar in a recent interview.
The Brazilian was asked which player he would love to play with in the future.
“I would like to play with Hazard. He has a style similar to mine,” Neymar told Fox Sports.
“I think I could give it a try. We would cause havoc together!”
Hazard has just over a year left on his Chelsea contract and he may force the Blues into selling him this summer to avoid losing him on a free.
Compatriot Thibaut Courtois forced Chelsea’s hand last summer when he was sold for £35million.
The quotes from Neymar would have had Zidane purring in hope that he can bring both to the Bernabeu to spearhead a new look attack.
Real’s president Florentino Perez will look to sign some new ‘Galacticos’ after paying the price for failing to replace Cristiano Ronaldo.
The likes of Gareth Bale and Marco Asensio could be sold after failing to kick on in the past few seasons.
Neymar has openly admitted he has no intentions of leaving Paris in the immediate future, but he refused to close the door on a move to Real.
In the future, everything is possible," he told Brazilian television channel Globo in March.
"I'm not saying I'm going to Real Madrid, calm down. Everybody knows I have already accomplished my dream which was [playing for] Barcelona.
"Real Madrid is one of the biggest teams in the world, every player perceived to have an interest in the club wants to play for them. Right now I'm very happy in Paris."
Neymar won his second Ligue 1 title last weekend when PSG's closest rivals Lille drew 0-0 at Toulouse.

The president has a galactic plan

Real Madrid applies a fundamental maxim. Before getting in, allow to exit. There will be many signings, of course, but they will need to raise funds and leave room for the new ones with several departures.
600 million euros is the figure that Florentino Pérez expects to receive. A burrata. Starting with the assigns, James Rodríguez, Mateo Kovacic, Raúl de Tomás, Odegaard, Theo Hernández, Mayoral ...
In total, 160 'kilos' only with players who are not, today, or in the Santiago Bernabéu. Nothing bad. To those, we should add the 50 that are expected to be perceived by Courtois, on the exit ramp by order of Zidane.
It would already be 210. More than Gareth Bale will leave with his march, he would leave that figure in 300 dives. 80 for Isco and 30 million for letting go to Mariano Diaz and would make 410 'kilos'.
Another 90 would come with the departure of Kroos Pep Guardiola Manchester City, 60 with the departure of Casemiro to PSG de Neymar and 25 with the transfer of a Nacho that points to Rome.
Finally, 15 'kilos' that Ceballos will leave in the white coffers with his signature by Betis that would raise that figure to 600 million exact.
Nothing despicable ..

The future of Exequiel Palacios moves away more and more from Real Madrid . The Argentine footballer, whose signing is closed since November, does not convince Zinedine Zidane.
Florentino Perez became obsessed with the crack of River Plate and hastened to reach an agreement with the millionaires and with the 20-year-old player, with whom he agreed to his arrival in the summer at the Santiago Bernabéu in exchange for 20 million euros.
However, the return of 'Zizou' to the White House dynamited an incorporation that was taken for granted. The French coach sees it very green to fill the void left by Modric and Kroos and prefers to focus on achieving the hiring of more contrasted players, such as Eriksen, Pogba or Milinkovic-Savic.
A situation that Cristiano Ronaldo tries to take advantage of to convince Palacios that he recalls in Juventus of Turin, that will let out Sami Khedira and very possibly Emre Can, if a good offer comes, which would leave room for one of the great talents of the South American soccer.
Seeing how well the experiment went with Bentancur, the 'bianconero' leaders are willing to repeat the formula with the midfielder of River , for which they put 22 kilos on the table, two more than Real, and offer more leadership.
Now the ball is on the roof of Palacios, who is also studying a proposal from Inter Milan.

The Real Madrid 2019-2020 project is taking shape and to do things well  Zinedine Zidane  has applied the saying "let go before entering." Florentino Perez knows that he has to sell to be able to incorporate the Galacticos that the French coach wants, but he must do it in a way that the other teams do not need.
The white president knows that  Gareth Bale will not leave the club, nor announce his departure before he has signed Eden Hazard because otherwise, the price of the signing will be higher and so with each of the additions.
For this Zidane has already warned the players he does not have and, for now, there are five:  Gareth Bale himself, Mariano Diaz, Dani Ceballos, Marcos Llorente, and Brahím Díaz.
The Welsh forward was the first to know his luck and his agent would already be talking to several clubs in the Premier League to find an agreement that benefits Real Madrid and the player.
Mariano Díaz will leave as soon as the arrival of Raúl De Tomás becomes official. The idea of ​​Mariano is to stay in the Spanish League or return to Olympique de Lyon. Sevilla seems to have the best position to take the scorer.
Dani Ceballos has important offers of Champions teams and does not count for Zidane. Florentino Pérez hopes to make cash with his sale. Juventus is the favorite.
Marcos Llorente does not quite convince although his performance has been good as long as he has been allowed to play. Borussia Dortmund and several teams of the Premier League have asked for him.
Finally, there is  Brahím Díaz, who does not like Zidane, but that Florentino Pérez does not want to give up and will surely be transferred to a team in the Spanish league.

Leo Messi goes for the Champions League. The Argentine was the great protagonist, with permission from David De Gea, of the meeting, which did not have much history. The Barça, four years later, returns to stand in the semifinals.
The Argentine appeared in the 16th minute to put the tie back on track. In the 20th, the culé captain, with the inestimable collaboration of the Spanish goalkeeper Manchester United, put the second with which he came to rest. Already in the second half, with everything resolved, Coutinho scored a goal of beautiful invoice to restore morale and send a hint to his critics with the celebration.
The '10' broke the gaffe that accompanied the azulgrana box and hit the table. He wants the Champions League and goes with everything. He has already understood that, if he wants to win the Golden Ball, it is a condition 'sine qua non' to raise the Orejona.
Leo is obsessed with regaining his throne and unseating Cristiano Ronaldo as the player with more gold balls in history, in addition to match in European Cups, with five.
In the long term, Messi also dreams of repeating the feat of CR7 at Real Madrid, as impossible as it seems: to be the kings of the World for three consecutive times. The leagues do not matter, if not the maximum continental competition. 
In Turin, Juventus de Ronaldo suffered against Ajax an unexpected defeat. The costumes of Barca did not lose any detail of what was happening in the Allianz Arena and saw how one of the favorites to win the championship was eliminated by the great revelation of the season.
Messi's message to Cristiano could not be more direct. He wants the Champions League and expects a rival in the final. Although yes, he has no doubts. If the 'Vecchia Signora' had arrived, the result would have been humiliating. Leo did not see Juve as the great candidate and believes that Barça would have passed the roller in the final. 
Liverpool waits in the semifinals already.

The heavyweights of Real Madrid have sat down to make a self-criticism of what happened this year and many aspects related to the group's relationship, the conflicts generated by the previous coach and the lack of ambition caused by having won everything.

One of the opinions that caught the attention was Sergio Ramos, who remarked that this season lacked professionalism in many players of the squad, mainly pointing to Isco Alarcón, who according to his assessment put forward his personal benefit over the whole, behavior that the captain rejects.
Ramos believes that Isco should leave Madrid in the new passing market, because the value of a player is measured in difficult times, and precisely in those circumstances was that the Malaga only devoted to sabotage the costumes and complicate a reality that already I was being stormy.

Florentino Perez had his encounters with the midfielder in the Solari era and even in the old cycle of Zidane there were tense moments where he complained that he did not have more minutes, despite this, the president had a plan to recover it and that he had an important role, but with the influence of Ramos in the template, the exit doors are reopened for Isco .

This campaign has been one of the worst in Magic since it did not become important in its usual contribution since the generation of play, its assists did not take place in the white offensive. There are several teams that have asked for the price of the player, Florentino sees it necessary to reduce tensions and will seek to sell it, but not at any price.

Zidane agrees to do a cleaning of the elements that from his previous stage felt that hindered maximum rapport as a team of all members of the White House.

The Madrid in recent weeks has been fighting with several demons, coupled with that, a new defeat has increased the displeasure on the part of Zidane mainly. Zizou is pressing for at least two central quality defenders to close for next season, as Raphaël Varane's presence for the new project is increasingly distant.

Many centers have offered themselves to the white team, but few are to the liking of the coach and the heavyweights of the squad.

The name of Samuel Umtiti has reverberated in Madrid offices, a defender who at the beginning of the campaign was the undisputed holder along with Piqué at Barcelona , but who, following a complicated injury that was treated with innovative methods without success, lost his place in the gala evening and now he is close to losing his place in the squad. In the leadership, they rethink the continuity of Umtiti because his injury does not offer guarantees of being completely recovered, without leaving some type of sequel that affects again in the future compromising his career.

Umtiti has an offer from Real Madrid, already negotiated with the whites last year to raise the salary with Barca, now with the presence of Zidane, the French has greater reasons to accept being part of the merengue team.

Messi does not want him to leave, because the defense gained a lot of security since his arrival, a low point that was dragged from the exit of Puyol. In the locker room of Madrid, the news did not sit well, especially to Sergio Ramos, who believes that bringing a substitute of Barca would only heat up the mood and would not improve the squad, as the captain his opinion has a determining effect on the decision. French Revolution in the new Real Madrid of Zinedine Zidane?

To the barricades. The situation of Gareth Bale in Real Madrid has unleashed a warlike climate that threatens to end in civil war.
The Welshman, who has the support of assets such as Modric or Kroos, lives facing the vast majority of a staff captained by Sergio Ramos who cannot stand his lack of rigor and camaraderie.
Bale, who is looking for a low-cost exit to keep his millionaire card in the destination club, warns these days to send if the club does not facilitate their departure. And he does so through statements by his agent, Jonathan Barnett, who put the hair on end in Madrid.
"He's very happy, he's a Real Madrid player," explains Barnett. "He is not thinking of returning to England, although I can not predict the future," he warns.
A threat, that of continuity, which has the nail group that wants to lose sight of Gareth as soon as possible. Also Zidane.
And in the case of Welsh, it rains on wet.
 
'Zizou' reproached him in his first stage the lack of professionalism when it came to abiding decisions, such as the substitution, which did not favor him.
Bale was a problem then and it is now again. And in the dressing room, they are fed up. Or it will go or there will be trouble and the fat ones.

Cristiano Ronaldo continues to give names. The Luso wants a winning project at the Juventus of Turin, surrounded by stars. The ones you have, that stay, and the ones that are missing, that arrive this summer.
In this sense, there are already up to three players on the table. The first is Ivan Rakitic, crack of Barca, which will hear offers. Although Valverde considers him untouchable, the signing of Frenkie de Jong, the emergence of Arthur and the age of Croatian, 30 years, invites to study options.
The 'Vecchia Signora' is very interested in getting the '4' culé, which could fill the gap left by Blaise Matuidi, with offers from China. CR7 has approved the arrival of the ex of Sevilla, which he sees as an ideal complement for Miralem Pjanic in the midfield.
Two other stars are Raphaël Varane and Marcelo, whom he knows perfectly well during his stay at Real Madrid. The departure of both of the Santiago Bernabéu is no chimera and Florentino Pérez will negotiate with them.
Zinedine Zidane wanted to retain both, but, after seeing the terrible level in which they are, has given way to allow their goodbye. Yes, as long as you receive a millionaire.
 
The agreement between Marcelo and Juve has been closed for months. 40 million more variables are the 'bianconera' offer. Very tempting, considering the age of the Brazilian and his bad time.
But Ronaldo wants to reconnect with the one who is his best friend in the world of football and who is convinced that he will recover his best version. He is your best partner both on and off the turf and knows him better than anyone else. He has no doubt that it will be a 'top' signing.
Varane, on the other hand, wants to leave Chamartín, where he has been in seven seasons in which he has won absolutely everything. He needs, at almost 26 years of age, new challenges and a new environment.
The Frenchman has also lowered his benefits, but he will ask for almost 100 kilos. A madness that from Turin they hope to reduce, until, at least, the 60.
Massimiliano Allegri is in love with the Gaul and has given the OK. Cristiano knows that Juventus need to rejuvenate the defense since the backbone, Chiellini, Bonucci, and Barzagli, is in their thirties and they have a few years left.
The Italians come with everything.

Eden Hazard is already in trouble before reaching Real Madrid. His signing is taken for granted, it will cost 115 million out of Chelsea and already rumored with the salary he will receive.
But the rumors are more and truer. 16 'kilos' clean per year will take the Belgian star. A bomb that has unleashed a chain of reactions. Above all, by Sergio Ramos. 
The driver is very upset with Florentino Pérez. He already disagrees with the current salary scale since he understands that, as a captain and leader, he would have to be the best paid of the workforce.
However, the reality is that this honor is held by Bale, who receives 14 million, for 12 of '4'. The months pass and, despite the promise made to review your contract, the firm proposal does not arrive.
That has already generated a tremendous discomfort to the driver, who has now heard how Hazard would also pass his hand over his face. Ramos has tremendous anger.
 
The Spanish international does not understand why a newcomer would charge more than he, who has been skinning for more than a decade, being the hero on several occasions and representing Real Madrid.
Sergio defends that those who have priority to those who arrive. Read More...

Real Madrid achieved the seemingly unachievable last season when they crushed Liverpool to win their third Champions League in a row.
Bayern Munich was the last team to achieve that feat in Europe’s premier club competition way back between 1973-1976.
The last team just to win back-to-back titles was Brian Clough’s Nottingham Forest in the same decade.
However, Europe had never seen a team quite as terrifying as Zidane’s Real.
Impervious at the back thanks to Sergio Ramos and Raphael Varane; creative in midfield with the likes of Toni Kroos and Luka Modric pulling the strings; all spearheaded by the top goalscorer in Champions League history - Cristiano Ronaldo.
The serial success ultimately proved too much for Zidane and Ronaldo though, with both heading out of the Bernabeu exit in the summer of 2018.
And while Zidane has been pulled back since, Ronaldo has been setting the Serie A alight with Juventus.

In light of Zidane’s return to the Spanish capital, French broadcaster RMC Sport 1have released a documentary about him.

And reflecting on his time under the Frenchman, Ronaldo has revealed how the “intelligent” Zidane managed to keep such a talented squad happy and motivated.
“I think Zidane knows how to handle the team in an intelligent way,” he said.
“It's not an easy situation because all the players like to play a lot, but he knows how to work intelligently and he manages to involve all the team.”
Real’s long-term captain Ramos was also full of praise for his manager, insisting there is a correlation between his fine talent on the pitch and in the dugout.

“Zidane's career speaks for itself, both what he did as a player and what he does as a coach,” Ramos said.
“He found a way to transfer the talent he had as a player to his new role and manage a dressing room.
“He does a fantastic and unique job, and the results are not a coincidence.”

Smell that? Do you smell that? Rumours, son. Nothing else in the world smells like that. Mill loves the smell of napalm in the morning.
It’s particularly whiffy around Old Trafford the noo, where Ole Gunnar Solskjær is planning to address the mess he inherited from The Artist Formerly Known As The Special One. At least five players are set to leave the club, while potential signings include Raphaël Varane– available for just £429m, or three easy installments or £143m – Jadon Sancho, Callum Hudson-Odoi and a DeLorean that can take them back to 1999 and make all this go away.
United are also keen to beat Manchester City to the signature of Atlético Madrid midfielder Saúl Ñíguez, just as they did so triumphantly with Fred last summer. If Pep Guardiola can’t do his David Brent dance in the face of Saúl, he’ll make an offer for another Atlético midfielder, Rodri Hernández.
everybody, but specifically Juventus, Paris Saint-Germain, and Real Madrid. Zinedine Zidane may offer Thibaut Courtois and/or Gareth Bale in part-exchange for de Gea. Or he might not!
Spurs are keen to welcome Fulham’s teenage star Ryan Sessegnon into their spangly new home, while Celta Vigo’s 16-year-old midfielder Yago de Santiago is also on their wanted list.
Arsenal has a private detective monitoring every move made by Bournemouth assist-fiend Ryan Fraser. Unai Emery is also interested in Genk’sLeandro Trossard and Boca Juniors’ Cristian Pavon.
Wolves will complete the permanent signing of Raúl Jiménez from Benfica in the next couple of days. Colchester youngster Noah Chilvers is wanted by West Ham and Leicester, while the Hammers also want a piece of Fulham’s Aleksandar Mitrovic, ideally the head and both feet.
