Real Madrid coach Zinedine Zidane has delivered Ajax midfielder Donny van de Beek a stunning snub.

ABC says Van de Beek has agreed a move to Real, with a deal in place for the Holland international ahead of the September 2 deadline.

However, it's suggested Zidane doesn't want Van de Beek and is insisting Manchester United midfielder Paul Pogba arrive as a priority.

Indeed, Zizou is demanding Pogba be signed beyond any alternative.

For his part, Van de Beek is aware of Zidane's opinion and is now preparing to spend the season with Ajax.
