According to Marca, Madrid are willing to pay up to £50million to secure the youngster’s signature.
Casemiro has proved his potential in Ligue 1 this season after making 32 appearances in all competitions.
The France Under-21 star has managed one goal and one assist from the midfield.
Zidane will have to dig deep to sign him this summer as he is under contract with Rennes until 2022.
Reports in France suggest the club will demand a fee of around £83million for the talented youngster.
Madrid have relied on heavily on Casemiro this season and the boss wants to bolster his options in that area.
The Spanish giants have won just one of the four games that they have played without the 27-year-old this term.
And the club are keen for Camavinga to learn from the Brazilian before replacing him on a long-term basis.
Real Madrid have also reportedly made an offer for Paris Saint-Germain superstar Kylian Mbappe.
And the La Liga giants are set to battle it out against Liverpool for Marcelo Brozovic from Inter Milan this summer.
