Real Madrid coach Zidane and Florentino clash over Neymar, Pogba

Real Madrid coach Zinedine Zidane and president Florentino Perez have clashed over their transfer plans this summer.

Le 10 Sport says Perez remains reluctant to pursue a deal for Paul Pogba, particularly with Manchester United demanding £150m to sell.

However, Zidane is insisting Pogba be signed - no matter the price nor Perez's concerns about the player's behaviour off the pitch.

Zidane is still expected to get his way, having already overruled his president for plans to sign PSG star Neymar.

Despite chasing the Brazil captain for over 18 months, Perez was forced to abandon his bid on Zidane's insistence.
