His name is Zidane, he was born in Marseille and he says it easily: “It was a dream to play for OM and it still is.”
Will we one day see Zinedine Zidane on the bench of Olympique de Marseille? For several months, the name of the world champion has been regularly attached to the Marseille club. For some, the former Madrilenian could be the leading figure of the Saudi project in the event of the club’s takeover. And Zizou’s arrival at OM would not displease his clan. “ It’s not taboo to talk about my father for Marseille, but we don’t talk about it too much. It is he who will make his decision on where he wants to go, where he wants to train », Confided his son Luca in an interview given to the media Square.
Luca Zidane, who became a starter at Eibar, a resident of the Spanish second division, does not hide it: playing at OM is a dream. “It was a dream to play there and still is, confided the 25-year-old goalkeeper, under contract with the Basque club until June 2026, adding: “The atmosphere at the Vélodrome is what we love about football, with this adrenaline and where people push us to be better.”

Enough to make it difficult to envisage the arrival of his father at PSG.

I was selected with the French youth team. I would like, one day, I’m not saying now but later, to play in France. he indicated, specifying: “It would be a great experience for me.” Like his brother Enzo, who passed through Rodez, Luca Zidane would have already had ” buttons “ with hexagonal clubs.
