Former Real Madrid president Ramon Calderon says there's growing tension between his successor Florentino Perez and coach Zinedine Zidane.

It's been claimed the pair have fallen out over Florentino's failure to prise Paul Pogba from Manchester United.

Calderon told El Confidencial: "I know that the relationship between Prez and Zidane is very, very tense.

"Prez did not bring him what he wanted and did not sell the requested players. This tension is felt on the players and results in injuries and defeats.

"How is it possible that 60m was paid for (Luka) Jovic and that (Alvaro) Morata is at Atltico? Or that Mario Hermoso, the next central defender of the national team, is at Atltico, and that Real signed (Eder) Militao, who does not even play?"
