Recent reports reveal that Manchester United star midfielder Paul Pogba is back in the list of players that Real Madrid want to include in their team. Reports are also stating that the La Liga giants are ready to offer €100million plus Gareth Bale in exchange for Pogba.
The same has been confirmed by a report in EuroSport. The report claims of the development after Real Madrid manager Zinedine Zidane met Paul Pogba during the International break in Dubai last week.
However, Zidane had denied any such talk and stated that the meeting was “completely by chance”.
“We bumped into each other by chance. And I am not going to tell you what we talked about. That is private,” he said, in a press conference ahead of Real Madrid’s La Liga clash against Real Mallorca on Saturday.
On the contrary, a report by EuroSport has stated that Zidane should not be trusted since Real Madrid are working on including Pogba in their team behind the curtains.
Diario Gol is also reporting that Real Madrid are likely to sign Pogba and since Manchester United have valued him highly, they are looking at a player plus cash deal involving Bale and €100 million in exchange for Pogba. The report also adds that Bale is also likely to agree to the deal since he does not find it worthwhile to play at Real Madrid under manager Zinedine Zidane.
