Real Madrid's Florentino Perez on Neymar, Kylian Mbappe: 'I'd Take Them Both'

Real Madrid president Florentino Perez has said he would take both Paris Saint-Germain forwards Neymar and Kylian Mbappe at the Santiago Bernabeu if given the opportunity.

Speaking after Zinedine Zidane was reappointed manager of the club on Monday, Perez was asked what Zidane's French link could mean for their hopes of signing Mbappe. When then asked about long-linked target Neymar and whether he'd prefer the Brazilian or Mbappe, Real's supremo responded, "I'd take them both," per ESPN FC's Dermot Corrigan:

Zidane has moved back to the Bernabeu 10 months after he left the helm, and rumours are already abuzz as to what this summer's transfer rebuild has in store for the returned club legend.
