Real Madrid president Florentino Perez has put aside a €500 MILLION summer war chest to rebuild the squad and satisfy returned coach Zinedine Zidane.

After a frugal two years, L'Equipe says Florentino is ready to return to the glory of the Galacticos and has three world class stars on his shopping list.

Top of the pile is PSG striker Kylian Mbappe, who the Real president failed to convince in the summer of 2017 as he was leaving AS Monaco. A world record offer of €280m has been mooted for the World Cup winner.

Next will be Chelsea ace Eden Hazard, with personal terms already said to have been settled. Key to this deal has been the return of Zidane, whom Hazard has been anxious to play for.

And the third name involved is Paul Pogba of Manchester United.

Like Mbappe and Hazard, Pogba is a personal request of fellow Frenchman Zidane.

Just last week, the United midfielder stated: "I'm happy in Manchester, but Madrid is a club that everyone dreams of."
