Real Madrid manager Zinedine Zidane has provided the club’s leaders with a list of players he would accept as a replacement for ageing Sergio Ramos according to a report from the online edition of Spanish news outlet Don Balon.

With Ramos now 34-years-old and out of contract at the end of next season, the Los Blancos boss is beginning to think about life after him.

He has submitted a list of four players who he would happily see replace him with those players being Napoli’s Kalidou Koulibaly, Juventus’ Matthijs de Ligt, Inter’s Milan Skriniar and AC Milan’s Alessio Romagnoli.

Inter currently deem Skriniar to be an indispensable player and for the time being the Slovakian is not Zidane’s favourite anyway.

The report goes on to explain that Romagnoli is in fact his favourite at the moment and Real Madrid would be prepared to offer AC Milan €60 million to sign him.
