Florentino Perez asks Zinedine Zidane about the defender Real Madrid wants to sign: He is very good

French football legend Zinedine Zidane remains a key figure at Real Madrid, with an excellent relationship with club president Florentino Perez, who often seeks his advice on French players.
Zidane, the iconic former player and coach, is always there for the club in challenging situations, never letting Real Madrid down. According to the Spanish newspaper Defensa Central, Zidane recently expressed his admiration for Leipzig’s young French center-back, Castello Lukeba, saying, “This young man is very good.” Lukeba, who is highly regarded by Real Madrid’s chief scout Juni Calafat, has caught the club’s attention.
At 21, Lukeba is considered one of the most promising French defenders, with his contract at Leipzig running until 2028. Transfermarkt currently values him at 40 million euros. Despite his rising reputation, Real Madrid has yet to finalize their position on signing a center-back, as no defender stands out as clearly as left-backs like Alphonso Davies or right-backs like Trent Alexander-Arnold.
Real Madrid is cautious about making transfer decisions, preferring to thoroughly analyze the market to avoid mistakes, as seen with previous signings like Luka Jovic and Mariano Diaz. The club values careful deliberation, considering insights from Calafat and influential figures like Zidane, who has a proven eye for identifying young talent.
According to the report, Zidane’s high praise for Lukeba has led Florentino Perez to give the green light to Real Madrid’s transfer team to pursue the French defender. Zidane reportedly believes that Lukeba will surpass Lenny Yoro, the young talent who joined Manchester United last summer.
