Zidane demands Real Madrid buy Hazard - even at record €120M

Zinedine Zidane is ready to return to Real Madrid - and make Chelsea ace Eden Hazard his first signing.

Zidane is willing to answer the SOS of Real president Florentino Perez, reports ABC, and has already insisted they push through a deal for Hazard.

The Frenchman has long admitted his admiration for Hazard and insisted on his signing during a crunch phone call with Perez this week.

Perez faces having to go to €120m to land Hazard - a record for Real.

Zidane has said of Hazard: "Obviously, there is Lionel Messi and Ronaldo, both of whom are spectacular, but I like Eden Hazard more,' Zidane, who is tipped as a future manager at the Bernabeu.

"I like everything he does on the field. I like his behaviour, his decisiveness and love to see his progress every year."
