Dani Carvajal says he would sign his friend Koke from Atletico Madrid if he controlled the Real Madrid transfer budget.
Madrid face their arch-rivals after the international break and Carvajal singled out a fellow Spain international as a player he would like to see make the move to the Santiago Bernabeu.
I would sign Koke from Atletico, Carvajal told Cadena SER.
He is a tremendous player. He does well wherever you play him.
He is the type of player who can dictate play and keeps on running the entire game. I think he is a very interesting player.
Plus he is a good friend of mine as well.
Carvajal has thrived at Madrid under Zinedine Zidane despite the arrival of Danilo from Porto in 2015 for a transfer fee in the region of €30 million and the right-back has been impressed by some of the tough selection choices made by the former France star.
Zidane and Madrid are being fair to all players, Carvajal added.
I think Zidane has made some brave decisions, like benching James [Rodriguez] and Isco for the good of the team.
He is a cautious and quiet man. But we have also seen him angry.
