The gaze of the head coach of Madrid's "Real" Zinedine Zidane is directed towards the rising French football star.
The French media reports that the UEFA Champions League winners are closely monitoring the performance of 19-year-old "Marseille" defender Maxime Lopez and may make an offer for the young footballer this summer.
Playing in the center defensive position, M. Lopez broke into the main "Marseille" team this season. The 19-year-old wasted no time in transitioning to men's football - the defender has already played in 26 matches, scored one goal, and provided seven assists.
Z. Zidane revealed his admiration for this player: "He played with my children and I know what impressive technique he possesses regardless of his age and physique.
When I first saw him, I thought he might be too small, but now I am not surprised by how he plays. What surprises me the most is the personality of this young man, his ability to run with the ball, and, most importantly, to dictate the game and involve others in it."
According to the media, M. Lopez's situation is also being closely monitored by other famous European clubs - "Barcelona", Turin's "Juventus", London's "Arsenal", and others.
