The latest explosion in the Zidane saga
Zinedine Zidane is one of the world's best ever players, but his arrival into the mainstream was late.
He will now be hoping that his son Enzo can make a similar splash as he looks set to establish himself next season.
Despite making his debut as a 17-year-old at Cannes, Zidane did not make his debut for the French national team until he was 22, and he was 24 when he made the jump to Juventus.
The Real Madrid head coach took his time to adapt to the competitive pace and demand of football at the highest level.
Moreover, he confesses that it was not until he was 23 that he began to believe that he could be elite.
Twenty years later, Zidane believes that life cycle is set to repeat itself with his son Enzo, who is still a Real player but has offers to play in Spain's first division.
Also, 'Zizou' believes that Enzo's game will adapt better to LaLiga after making fleeting appearances in the Copa del Rey and in friendly games.
Zidane trusts Enzo as a player and had him on the bench for certain games, including making the 25-man squad for the Champions League final, while he also played for Santiago Solari's Castilla team in the Segunda B to continue his growth as a player.
Now comes the moment to take the next step and to make a leap forward - at 22 - in a similar manner to his father.
One of the teams who has been most linked to the midfielder is Alaves, who had Marcos Llorente flourish there on loan last season.
Should that not happen, Enzo will train with Real's first team in pre-season.
In any case, the Zidane saga does not end here.
The surname with plenty of presence at Valdebebas will ensure its continuity with another of Zidane's sons, the 19-year-old goalkeeper Luca, set to link up with the first team for pre-season.
And there are still more on the way.
