Ligue 1 side Paris Saint-Germain’s (PSG) star player Neymar Jr is perhaps no longer the go-to man for La Liga giants Real Madrid, as far as their tarsnfer interest is concerned. If reports are to be believed Madrid are now seriously considering Paul Pogba as a viable option. They would now need to take a call very quickly as only a few days remain for the transfer window to close.

A report carried by Don Balon states that Real Madrid boss Zinedine Zidane is done with trying to rope in Neymar and reach no outcome. Zidane is hence ready to try and draft in Paul Poba instead. However, the reports further reveal that Real Madrid president Florentino Perez still wants somebody Neymar but the manager has now changed his mind with less than a week to go for the transfer window to close.

In the meantime, Manchester United player Paul Pogba has started his 2019-20 campaign with United itself and even played a vital part in two of the goals in United’s opening game of 2019-20 season. A separate set of reports reveal that Pogba is in fact happy with Manchester United and is looking forward to a long-term future at United.

United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is also not interested in selling their star player. Reports also suggest that he has in fact guaranteed that Pogba would start in all the matches for them. To keep other teams away from him, they have set his asking price at €180 million.

However, who knows perhaps Real Madrid may be willing to spend that much amount on Pogba and if they do that, they will have no choice but to see him go to the La Liga side.
