If Zidane’s four sons have all become professionals, none has yet managed to establish themselves at the highest level, whether at Real Madrid or elsewhere. The eldest, Enzo, retired last summer, at only 29 years old. The second, Luca, who plays as a goalkeeper, must for the moment be content with an understudy role at Granada, residents of the second division.
At 22, Théo certainly plays more than his elder, but after leaving Castilla last summer, he also plays in the second division, in Cordoba. The career of the youngest of the siblings, Elyaz, is only just beginning. But after leaving Real last January, the young 18-year-old defender is about to take a step up at Betis Sevilla.
Elyaz Zidane soon called up to the first team?
Recruited to play in reserve, the native of Marseille now trains from time to time with the first team of the Andalusian club, which has fallen to ninth place in La Liga after a good start to the season. Elyaz Zidane should not, however, be summoned by Manuel Pellegrini to face Helsinki on Thursday, on the occasion of the last day of the group stage of the Europa Conference League, but the one who preferentially plays in the left lane but can also play in central defense pleases the Chilean coach.
This promotion could also earn him a call-up to the French under-20 team. Winner of the Euro with the U17s in 2022 and regularly called up for the U18s then the U19s, the Marseillais has not yet had a say in the U20s.
