Real Madrid president Florentino Perez has admitted to coach Zinedine Zidane they're battling to land their transfer targets this summer.

After the squad had retired from training in Montreal, Perez held a brief conversation with Zidane.

Spanish TV cameras from the Cuatro network caught the conversation where Zidane greeted the president with a casual “¿Presi, qué tal?" (How's things president).

The Real Madrid president wanted to bring Zidane up to date on the latest developments regarding new signings and was overheard to say “Estamos enredando un poco" (We're somewhat bogged down) and confirmed that as of present nothing has been confirmed in terms of new player acquisitions.
