Real Madrid president Florentino convinced Zidane with three big signings promised

Real Madrid president Florentino Perez was able to convince Zinedine Zidane to return with assurances of three huge summer signings.

Zidane was confirmed coach after Real's dismissal of Santiago Solari last night.

AS says Florentino agreed to several major requests during marathon talks with Zidane last week, with the summer transfer window front and centre.

Zidane demanded three major signings be made for next season - and after much to and fro, Florentino eventually agreed.

Kylian Mbappé and Neymar, the two stars of Paris Saint-Germain, plus Eden Hazard, currently with Chelsea, have all been requested by Zidane.

The Frenchman recognises the attack needs a massive overhaul after Cristiano Ronaldo's departure last summer for Juventus.
