Of the two candidates, Zidane is considered the better candidate. He helped Real Madrid win the Champions League three years in a row. The French legend also has the charisma of a star, a factor that can help stabilize the Bayern dressing room.
Real plans to approach Hazard in January
According toCadena SERReal Madrid are considering a move for midfielder Eden Hazard in the winter transfer window.
The Belgian is in impressive form, having scored 7 goals in the Premier League. Meanwhile, the “White Vultures” are in crisis and have their worst scoring record since 1985.
Real Madrid president Florentino Perez hopes to appease the fans by bringing Hazard to the Bernabeu. However, Chelsea will not let their star go easily. And if they do sign Hazard, Real will not give up on Neymar in the future.
Hazard himself recently admitted that he really wanted to join Real Madrid.
Juventus does not want to rescue Pogba from MU
After a series of incidents that occurred since the beginning of the season, Pogba is no longer happy wearing the Manchester United shirt. Some sources from Italy and Spain said that the French midfielder wants to "escape" from Old Trafford in the winter or summer transfer window of 2019. Besides Barcelona, Juventus is said to be the favorite destination of the world champion.
When asked about the possibility of "rescuing" Pogba from Old Trafford, Juventus's sporting director denied the above information: "Juventus used to have Pogba in the squad and quite liked that type of all-round midfielder. However, Juventus has never thought about the possibility of reuniting with Pogba in the future," Mr. Paratic affirmed withESPN.

SheetSport ItalyJuventus has always highly valued Pogba and has ambitions to bring the 25-year-old midfielder back to Turin. However, the biggest obstacle to this "reunion" lies in the "Old Lady's" salary fund.
Man City liquidates veterans in winter
After 8 rounds of Premier League, Man City have only conceded 3 goals. They are currently the team that has conceded the fewest goals in the Premier League this season. However, coach Pep Guardiola still wants to rearrange the backline personnel in the upcoming winter transfer window.
Among the players currently sitting idle at the Etihad Stadium, Eliaquim Mangala is the most notable name. The French centre-back was the most expensive defender Man City had ever bought, when he made the transfer from Porto in 2014. Since then, Mangala has not shown that he is worthy of the price of up to 42 million pounds.
Philippe Sandler could also leave on loan like Mangala. The 21-year-old centre-back joined Man City this summer. And another case in Man City's defence that could potentially leave is Vincent Kompany. The Belgian veteran is still the captain of Man City.
