Real Madrid make Hazard and Pogba top transfer targets as Chelsea and Man Utd face summer battle to keep star names
Los Blancos manager believes Premier League duo will transform his side next season
REAL MADRID boss Zinedine Zidane has reportedly made Paul Pogba and Eden Hazard his top transfer targets this summer.
Spanish newspaper claims the Frenchman has told club chiefs to splash the cash on the Premier League pair as he looks to close the gap to Barcelona next season.
It’s believed Real have already put aside £425million to spend on Pogba, Hazard and Kylian Mbappe.
But the Paris Saint-Germain star has apparently emerged as an impossible target and will have to wait until 2020 for his Bernabeu switch.
It means Los Blancos will now pull out all the stops to bring Pogba, 26, and Hazard, 28, to the Spanish capital.
Pogba reportedly rejected a new Manchester United contract in January.
But the Red Devils may only do business if they can get Gareth Bale and Toni Kroos in a swap deal.
