According to reports from the Sun, Zidane is unfazed by the transfer ban that FIFA has slapped Chelsea with and he will have £200 million to spend during the summer transfer window if he is appointed as the club’s manager.
Chelsea’s recent defeats to Bournemouth and Manchester City has kept Maurizio Sarri’s job in jeopardy. Several reports claim that Zidane is a favorite to replace Sarri next season.
Earlier, reports claimed that Zidane had two demands from Chelsea if he were to become manager. Firstly, the club had to keep Eden Hazard. Secondly, he wanted £200 million to spend during the transfer window.
Yesterday, FIFA imposed a two-year transfer ban on Chelsea after finding them guilty of breaching regulations regarding the international transfers of players under the age of 18.
However, Chelsea released a statement that they will appeal this ban soon. Despite the ban, Zidane is still eager to join Chelsea and the club is confident of getting to spend this summer.
