Real Madrid boss Zidane wants Manchester United midfielder Pogba this summer - but Perez prefers Tottenham's Christian Eriksen.
Zidane returned to Los Blancos earlier this year, replacing Santiago Solari as manager just nine months after walking away from the Santiago Bernabeu.
The Frenchman, who led the Spanish side to three successive Champions League titles, rejoined the club on the proviso that he would be handed greater autonomy by the Real Madrid president.
That meant a much bigger say in transfers and the running of the club.
And as Zidane looks to reshape his side this summer, he is keen to take Manchester United midfielder Paul Pogba to the Spanish capital.
Zidane believes he can bring the best out of his compatriot, who is keen to join after three years at Old Trafford; Pogba has labelled the club as “a dream for every player”, while Zidane is quoted as saying: "If when his experience at United is over and he wants to come why would he not come to Madrid?”
But while Zidane is eager to splash a potential £160million on the World Cup winner, Perez is keen to reshape Madrid’s midfield with Tottenham star Christian Eriksen instead.
The Danish playmaker, who has led Spurs to the Champions League final this term, is out of contract in 2020 and talks have stalled over a new deal with Spurs.
As such, he could be sold for a relative cut-price fee this summer, as Spurs look to avoid losing him on a free transfer next year.
Zidane, has already acquiesced to the politics of the Madrid boardroom in one regard, electing to make Thibaut Courtois - a player he was against signing during his first spell as coach - his No.1 next season, and informing Keylor Navas that he will be allowed to depart.
Now he wants backing from Perez to make Pogba one of the cornerstone's of his rebuild, but is struggling to persuade him to finance a huge total package - in the region of £300million including wages.
However, that is as yet forthcoming, at a time when the Madrid chief is prioritising deals for Luka Jovic and Eden Hazard.

Eriksen is way better that Pogba. All pogba cares about is how he looks and how much he makes

Zidane should go for Eriksen 1st, then we can go for pogba, if Zidane signing pogba only in midfield reinforcement, then don't expect to win trophies, Zidane always favours France players,

No. He will only be a liability who will ruin any chemistry left in the dressing room. With all due respect to his fans, Pogba is overrated. He is not Madrid quality and cannot drive a team on his own. He can't orchestrate attacks like Modric, Can't make long diagonal passes like Kroos and can't defend like Casemiro....bringing him and benching any one of those 3 guys will spell disaster for Madrid. Remember those 3 guys won 3 UCLs in a row and the bad season we've had this year is mainly Perez's fault for not finding a replacement for Ronaldo. Madrid lacked goals and that's why we are out of all competitions early. Pogba should stay in Man Utd and make Man Utd a great team (if he's that talented) instead of hopping around for the next club that will pay him and his agent exorbitant fees

Am Manchester United fan, my honest opinion on this should be Erikson over, Pogba but both players don't play the same, Pogba can be more useful as he can play as CM or CDM or even CAM but Eriksson is specialized on CM but more of CAM, another facts is this Eriksson has 12 months left in his contract which makes it much cheaper easier to get, but with Pogba he has 3 years plus additional 1 year in his contract making it 4 years and would cost a fortune to get, attitude wise Pogba worst in this case, but will Zidane be Real Madrid coach forever? to control him that is the big question, to me Eriksson is far better option, but utility level Pogba is far better as he can adjust in many positions

pogba have scoring potentials plus power play edge over Erikson but Eric is a football technocrat who can easily fulfilled locker room politics of belonging as a good players like modric. Pogba need to rediscover personal image in Real Madrid. Is pogba better than Benzema as super stars absolutely NO. Neither is he better than Ramos Marcelo or Navas in ego image. But presently he process higher self esteem image in united More than super stars Benzema or Ramos. Therefore, will he earn salary more than Ramos or Benzema ? If yes, I will advise zidane to listen to management principles of structural group harmony to choose between pogba or Erikson. Pogba salary demand should be in harmony within the existing structure.
