Sissoko would love to play for Real Madrid

During the last European Championship, one of the players who made the best impression with France was without question Moussa Sissoko. The Newcastle United midfielder does not like that the Magpies were relegated, this gives him the option of possibly changing clubs this summer and the options are wide after his incredible performance with his national team this summer. One of the most interested sides in his services is Real Madrid, Los Blancos are looking for a suitable Casemiro replacement because it's a long season and Zidane just has the Brazilian for that specific position. 

Talking to L'Equipe, Sissoko said how he feels about Los Blancos' interest in him: "That's flattering. Who would not be flattered by the interest of the best clubs in the world? It's simple - when you are young and you start playing football, your dream is to become a professional and play for a club like Real or Manchester United.  I have worked my way up and if a club like Real comes to me, it will be something huge. It is difficult to reject a club like Real, although you still have to think carefully to make the best decision possible. [Being coached by Zinedine Zidane] could be something fantastic, but that is not the case today. Everyone knows Zidane, his career, the man he is and the coach he is becoming. This is a great person in the world of football. 

"Now I wait to see if this is really feasible before I think about it and make a decision. I know there are a lot of interested clubs. So we will take all the options into account before making the best choice possible. We will see what happens. Since the beginning of my career, I didn't have the opportunity to play Champions League matches and I have a real desire to discover this competition. At Newcastle, I have continued my progress and now I think now have the qualities to be able to aim higher. I was waiting for my time and perhaps it has arrived. I feel able to go to the big leagues and my wish is to join a really big club."

He also talked about his talks with Rafael Benitez, who understands he may leave the club: "I had a very good talk with my coach where we could put everything on the table. He would have liked to keep me but he also knows what is good for a player. He is therefore open to my departure. There were also exchanges on this with my representatives and leaders of the club. I now hope that everyone will find happiness. The club requires a significant amount and the clubs who want me will have to find common ground with them."
