Los Blancos, who suffered a disappointing 2018\/19 campaign, have already strengthened by adding Eden Hazard, Luka Jovic, \u00c9der Milit\u00e3o and Ferland Mendy to Zidane&#8217;s squad.<\/p>\n<p>And they are not done yet. Pogba is reportedly Zidane&#8217;s top midfield transfer target and he&#8217;s already expressed admiration for his countryman.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I know him personally,&#8221; he recently said. &#8220;He brings so much and there are few players who bring as much as he does.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;He&#8217;s a midfielder who knows how to defend and how to attack, but he is not my player, he is at Manchester.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;He has always said that, after Manchester, Madrid has always interested him.
