The 23-year-old Frenchman has been in superb form this season, scoring 25 goals in all competitions to attract interest from a host of big-name European sides.
Real now hope to join the race for his signature, with Zidane a fan of his fellow countryman, who could be a replacement for the unsettled Karim Benema.
Lacazette looks a player who could succeed at the Bernabeu, but it remains to be seen how much influence Zidane holds over transfer dealings.
