Zinédine Zidane, the new sporting director of Real Madrid since May, is facing challenges and uncertainties in the early days of his role. Zidane joined Real Madrid in May with the expectation of working alongside coach Carlo Ancelotti and retaining star player Cristiano Ronaldo, but the situation seems to be evolving differently.
As of now, Carlo Ancelotti is still with Paris Saint-Germain (PSG), despite an agreement between the two clubs. Additionally, Cristiano Ronaldo appears to be determined to leave the club, with reports suggesting a 100 million euros offer for his transfer.
The slow progress in securing Gareth Bale’s arrival adds to Zidane’s concerns. As he contemplates building the team for the upcoming season, he is facing challenges and uncertainties, particularly with key players’ statuses in flux. Zidane recognizes the competitive landscape, with Barcelona well-established, and he feels the pressure for Real Madrid to make strategic moves during the summer transfer window.
