Zinedine Zidane 'furious' with Real Madrid for not sealing Paul Pogba transfer

Zinedine Zidane is already on a collision course with Real Madrid chief Florentino Perez just months into his second Los Blancos stint.

Zidane is reportedly furious with the Bernabeu hierarchy for failing to secure the transfer of Paul Pogba from Manchetser United.

Midfielder Pogba publicly stated his desire for a fresh challenge this season earlier in the summer, but now looks set to remain at Old Trafford.

Zidane is a huge admirer of his compatriot and wants to take him to Real as he bids to reverse the fortunes of the Spanish giants after a nightmare campaign last term.

He landed Eden Hazard from Chelsea during the off-season and Real are unbeaten in their first two La Liga matches of the season, winning one and drawing one.

But, according to Sport, Zidane is livid with Real because he does not believe the club ever truly wanted to sign Pogba.

The report says Zidane feels 'let down' and 'lied to' by Perez over the transfer saga.

Real are expected to sign Alphonse Areola from PSG before the transfer deadline on September 2, with Keylor Navas set to move in the other direction.

But Zidane does not expect any other incomings to the Bernabeu.
