Zinedine Zidane has dashed Neymar’s hope of playing for Real Madrid after the gaffer’s return to the Bernabeu. 
The Frenchman would prefer to make Kylian Mbappe his top target and Neymar’s chances of the transfer have ‘been and gone’, according to AS. 
Zidane was named as Santiago Solari’s replacement and started his second spell as Real boss this week following his departure last year. 
He is an admirer of Neymar but not to the extent of club president Florentino Perez, who has always desperately sought a move for the former Barcelona forward. 
Zidane thinks the exorbitant sum needed to bring Neymar from PSG would go further in different areas of the squad and there is the belief that the showman may not comply with Zidane’s focus on squad harmony. 
Neymar is currently out with a foot injury and has been plagued by physical issues over the last couple of seasons
