Anyway, the Zidane rumor at PSG is still alive, even though Leonardo and Nasser Al-Khelaïfi have taken care to deny it publicly in recent days. Last night, the famous Spanish radio the Cadena SER has indeed decided to put something back in the machine by first confirming contacts between PSG and Zinedine Zidane in view of the succession of Mauricio Pochettino.

PSG would be optimistic

And according to this source, the PSG obtained a more positive response than imagined during its first exchanges with the entourage of the former coach of Real Madrid. According to Manu Carreño, who developed this info on Spanish radio, not only would Zidane not be against signing for PSG despite the fact that he is from Marseille, but he would not be obsessed with the position of coach either. of the France team, although it interests him. Nothing would however be acted for the moment, but the PSG would be optimistic.

It remains to be seen whether Zidane’s arrival could happen as early as this winter as Manchester United, eyeing Mauricio Pochettino, have decided to end the season with Ralf Rangnick. Some echoes already coming from Spain recently assured that Zizou was not hot to reach Paris this winter. “I am told in Paris that this will happen during the Christmas holidays and before Epiphany (January 6)”, launched Manu Carreño on the SER last night.

A year ago, Thomas Tuchel was also challenged in Paris, but no one expected his dismissal. On December 24, the info of his dismissal leaked to the press and PSG formalized his departure five days later. Twelve months later, will Paris do the same thing again?
