Laliga: Zidane disagrees with Real Madrid head over his son

 

Real Madrid manager, Zinedine Zidane, has disagreed with the board over the role of his son, Luca, at the club, Marca reports.

Thibaut Courtois has established himself as their No.1, but Zidane has told back-up goalkeeper, Keylor Navas, he can leave the club this summer.

Zidane was told by club director, Jose Angel Sanchez and Juni Calafat, that they would have a first-choice goalkeeper and a young back-up next season.

The Frenchman has followed the club’s wishes, by informing Navas his future lies elsewhere, in a meeting at their training ground last week.

But he plans to go against the wishes of club bosses, by installing his own son, Luca, as his No.2 instead of youngster Andriy Lunin.

Lunin is who the board had in mind to be Courtois’s understudy, with reports Luca could leave the club on loan to gain more experience.

But his father believes he is up to the task.

Lunin has had an unsuccessful loan spell at Leganes and played just six matches having failed to establish himself as first choice.

LaLiga: Jurgen Klopp To Replace Real Madrid Boss, Zidane

Liverpool manager, Jurgen Klopp, is attracting interest from Real Madrid.

According to The Sun, the club want him if they sack Zinedine Zidane at the end of this season.

Zidane is expected to remain at the club if he wins the Champions League, but the club’s poor league form has put his position under threat.

Klopp has become a target for the LaLiga giants, following his success with Borussia Dortmund and Liverpool in the European competition.

The Liverpool boss could still have a say in whether Madrid will retain the Champions League if both sides progress to the semi-finals.

Bayern Munich have also been linked with Klopp, but reports in Germany say Madrid hold the most interest.

Champions League: Zidane Speaks On Real Madrid Drawn With Juventus In Quarter Final, Says He Wish To Avoid Juventus

Real Madrid manager, Zinedine Zidane, has said that he would have preferred to avoid Juventus in Friday’s Champions League draw because of his attachment to the Italian giant where he spent five happy years.

Real Madrid will lock horns with the Italians in April in what will look like a replay of last season’s Champions League final.

Zidane told reporters, “I spent five years over there and it was an important club in my career as a player, so obviously it always has an effect on me when we play Juve.

“I would have preferred to avoid Juventus for many reasons.

“But we drew Juve and now I have to concentrate on that and forget about everything that happened to me there as a player even if it’ll always be there in the back of my mind.

“They look as solid as they were last year.”

Laliga: Zidane Praises Neymar, Says He Will Do Well In Real Madrid

 

Real Madrid manager, Zinedine Zidane, has praised Neymar, saying he could fit into any team including the LaLiga giants.

Neymar, who joined Paris Saint-Germain last summer in a €222million transfer from Barcelona, has been linked to Madrid in recent months.

On Friday, Mundo Deportivo reported that he was seekinga return to Barcelona this summer.

“Neymar would fit in at every club because he is very good just as other players,” Zidane told a news conference on Friday.

“I’m not going to talk about a player that is not mine.

“They [PSG] paid €222m, that’s what it is. When I was bought [by Real Madrid] they paid €72m or something like that and I thought it was crazy. Ten years later it’s €222m… in 10 years time or even earlier than that, they might spend €400m.”
