Fiorentina striker Giovanni Simeone is flattered by praise from Real Madrid coach Zinedine Zidane.
Zidane admitted his admiration for Simeone, the son of Atletico Madrid coach Diego Simeone, this week.
The Argentine striker said: "I'm happy in Florence, I love the city and I love the fans of Fiorentina.
"Real Madrid? I have always been a fan of Atlético since childhood ... The club has brought so much to our family, I am very happy that my father is there to defend the red and white colors."
Simeone hit a superb hat-trick on Sunday in Fiorentina's 3-0 defeat of Napoli.
