Samir Nasri says he would relish the chance to join Real Madrid and play under head coach Zinedine Zidane.
The European champions are enjoying superb form under the former France star and will set a new Spanish record of 40 games unbeaten if they avoid defeat to Sevilla in the Copa del Rey on Thursday.
And the 29-year-old says playing under the "incredible" former Madrid and Juve midfielder would be difficult to turn down.
Asked by Onze Mondial if he would like to work with Zidane, he replied: "Yes, of course. That would mean I would be playing for Real Madrid."
He continued: "It is rare that a player that is so good can become that good of a coach too. His career is simply incredible.
"In his first 32 games, he was ahead of [Pep] Guardiola, [Manuel] Pellegrini and [Jose] Mourinho in points won [in LaLiga]. He also won the Champions League, is currently sitting top of LaLiga and is unbeaten for many games. He is having an incredible season."
"I think he's the best," he said. "If somebody wanted to compare me to him, I'd be honoured."
And Nasri says Sevilla must continue to believe that they can upset Spain's traditional heavyweights and deliver domestic success this term.
"We are in a league that is far more equal than people think," he said. "It's true that there are two giants, but in the Champions League, the Copa del Rey and in the league and international games...with a little faith, you never know."
