Mino Raiola has reportedly had 'two conversations' with Real Madrid in which he revealed the desire of his client Paul Pogba to leave Manchester United for Los Blancos.
The football super-agent was thought to have an acrimonious relationship with the capital city club, which would have proved to be a major stumbling block to any potential transfer.
But according to Spanish outlet Marca, Raiola has since put those differences behind him and has twice spoken to the Madrid hierarchy, voicing Pogba's desire to swap Old Trafford for the Santiago Bernabeu.
Star names including Eden Hazard and Kylian Mbappe could be enticed to join Zidane, who has also made no secret of his desire to work with compatriot Pogba in the past.
The French midfielder also openly flirted with the prospect of a move to Spain during the international break, telling reporters it would be a 'dream' to work with Zidane.
Pogba said: 'Real Madrid is a dream for any kid or footballer and especially with Zidane.'
The Frenchman has rediscovered his best form under new Manchester United boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, but the club will be concerned about the lasting impact of his confidence-sapping relationship with former coach Jose Mourinho.
Raiola's emollient approach to Real Madrid suggests Pogba still wants out, despite the club's transformation under the former United striker.
During Pogba's courtship with Barcelona in 2015, when Madrid boss Carlo Ancelotti publicly distanced Real from a move for the former Juventus player, the 51-year-old Italian agent was quoted by L'Equipe as saying: 'Madrid buy players the way some people buy bath towels and then throw aside. We are not interested in a club like that.'
The 26-year-old is expected to return to Premier League action with Manchester United on Saturday when they take on Watford at Old Trafford.
