The in-demand Dutch centre back has been linked with a move to FC Barcelona but according to reports in Italy Zidane wants him at Madrid

Zinedine Zidane has asked Real Madrid to sign Matthijs de Ligt this summer after it became clear Raphael Varane wants to leave. According to Italian newspaper 'Corriere dello Sport', Zidane sees the Dutch youngster as the ideal man to replace Varane and hopes to secure his signature ahead of Barcelona.

De Ligt seems certain to follow Frenkie de Jong out of Ajax this summer but Zidane refuses to give up hope of convincing the defender that Madrid would be the best option for him. Barça remain confident they can bring in de Ligt alongside de Jong.

It might be a question of too little too late but Zidane could spoil Barça's plans for the summer transfer window.
