Real Madrid Transfer News: Perez looking to close deal for €80 million Kroos replacement but Zidane doesn’t want him and more – April 19, 2019

Capello and disagreements

Manchester City v Tottenham Hotspur - UEFA Champions League Quarter Final: Second Leg

Former Real Madrid manager Fabio Capello seems to be in the know about the happenings at Real Madrid. The former Juventus boss has claimed that manager Zinedine Zidane has a war chest of €500 million.

And how does he know? A source close to the club told him apparently.

"They told me Real Madrid have €500 million to spend on signings," he said.

"I was in Barcelona this week and someone who knows Real Madrid really well told me that."

Meanwhile, reports in Spain claim that there is a disagreement between Zidane and Florentino Perez. The president is rushing to complete a deal for Spurs star Christian Eriksen worth €80 million as a replacement for Kroos.

However, Zinedine Zidane doesn’t want him. Rather, Eriksen is not the Frenchman’s first choice as he prefers Paul Pogba. However, Perez has identified the former Juventus man as plan B since his price would be much higher than that of Eriksen, whose contract expires in the summer of 2020.
