Paul Pogba transfer news- Real Madrid and Juventus interested

Despite the speculation surrounding Paul Pogba and his future at Man United, when fit, the Frenchman is arguably one of the best midfielders in the world. Real Madrid boss Zinedine Zidane has publicly spoken of his admiration towards Pogba, hinting at wanting to work with the midfielder at the Santiago Bernabeu. Last season, Pogba claimed, 'it would be a dream come true to play for Los Blancos' which further ignited speculation of a move to Madrid.

Pogba spent four seasons with Serie A giants Juventus when he left Man United in 2012. During his time with the Old Lady, Pogba won four league titles and also aided Juventus to the final of the Champions League back in 2015, suffering defeat against Barcelona. Pogba returned to Man United in 2016 for a then-record transfer fee of a reported £89.3 million (€105 million) but has had a number of inconsistent patches with the Premier League giants ever since. Juventus have been tipped to re-sign Pogba as the midfielder spent some of his best years in Turin.
