Zinedine Zidane "happy" with Real Madrid squad

Real Madrid manager Zinedine Zidane admits that he is a fan of Juventus midfielder Paul Pogba, but insists that he is "happy" with his current squad.

Real Madrid manager Zinedine Zidane has insisted that he is "happy" with his squad amid speculation linking the Spanish giants with a move for Paul Pogba.

Pogba's future has been the subject of intense speculation this summer, with the likes of Real Madrid and Manchester United thought to be interested in the France international.

It is likely to take a world-record offer to prise him away from Juventus, and while Zidane admitted that he is a fan of Pogba, he also talked up the qualities of the players he already has at his disposal.

"I am happy with the squad I have got and it's difficult to improve on it. Do I like Pogba? Of course, he's a very good player and every club wants the best players, but right now he's at Juve and we have a large squad already," he told reporters.

"There are still lots of players yet to join up with the squad and with the Euros going on we couldn't do anything. We have three games coming up and that's the focus at the moment."

Pogba has made 178 appearances for Juve since joining the club in 2012.
