Zinedine Zidane reportedly had a phone conversation with Dominik Szoboszlai of Red Bull Salzburg about a possible transfer to Real Madrid in January.
The 20-year-old Hungarian international is one of the most promising young talents in European football and has a slew of suitors, including Arsenal and Tottenham, after bursting onto the scene with the Austrian team in the past two years.
Szoboszlai has also attracted the attention of Salzburg’s sister club RB Leipzig, but Madrid have also been closely linked and Zidane has already reached out to the 20-year-old, according to German media BILD, as reported in Diario AS.
The report details that Madrid would be willing to meet the midfielder’s £ 18 million (€ 20 million) sales price from Salzburg when the transfer window reopens next month.
However, other clubs, including Arsenal and Spurs, are interested in the highly rated 20-year-old, who decided to stay for the summer despite outside interest.
Leipzig coach Julian Nagelsmann is also interested in the midfielder: RB Salzburg is of course associated with sister club Leipzig, which also plays in the Champions League.
Many players have moved from Salzburg to Leipzig in recent years, including stars like Naby Keita and Dayot Upamecano.
Szoboszlai has made 78 appearances for Salzburg despite being just 20 years old and has scored 25 goals in all competitions.
He made his debut at the age of 17 in May 2018 and scored on his Champions League debut last season in a 6-2 win against Genk, a match made famous by teammate Erling Haaland’s hat-trick. .
He has also played 10 games for the Hungarian national team, scoring two goals.
Meanwhile, Zidane’s side are looking to bounce back from their Champions League loss to Shakhtar Donetsk midweek when they play Sevilla in LaLiga this afternoon.
