Zinedine Zidane Expressed Interest in Bringing €65 Million Manchester City Signing to Real Madrid
Zidane’s Unfulfilled Wish: The €65 Million Talent He Wanted at Real Madrid
Zinedine Zidane, an iconic figure in the history of Real Madrid both as a player and manager, often doesn’t receive enough credit for his managerial achievements with the club. Among his accomplishments are three Champions League titles, two La Liga championships, and numerous other trophies. One aspect that tends to be underrated is his talent for identifying and nurturing young players.
During his tenure as Real Madrid’s manager, Zidane had a keen interest in several promising talents. One such player was Jeremy Doku, who recently completed a €65 million move to Manchester City.
According to reports, Zidane presented the option to sign Doku to Real Madrid two years ago. However, the deal never materialized, and Doku has since continued to progress in his career. He recently scored his first goal for Manchester City against West Ham United, underlining his potential and quality.
Real Madrid’s forward options have been a topic of discussion, and Doku’s talent could have been a valuable addition. Although the move didn’t happen, Zidane’s eye for emerging talent remains evident as Doku flourishes at Manchester City.
