why do his backup plans sound better than his preferred option then? He’d have complete control at juve, if we’re just gonna believe the reporting.
But even if it was we don't know what conditions RM are offering. Zidane did have a fair bit of input there and you could argue slightly less control at RM is offset by a better starting team, more prestige, more money etc.
Also, control is more important here where every penny matters and you can't sign whoever you want so you want specific characteristics since you cannot have the most complete or best player. Madrid just sign the best player.
