In case you didn’t know…
Paul Pogba, who scored the highest number of goals and became the top assist provider for Manchester United last term, endured another trophyless season at Old Trafford.
A few days ago, in an interview, the Frenchman expressed that he is looking for ‘a new challenge’.
Real Madrid have been chasing the French World Cup winner for a while now. However, as per the reports, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is reluctant to sell one of his crown jewels.
The heart of the matter
Reports from MARCA (via Calciomercato) have claimed that Real Madrid are no longer interested in signing Paul Pogba. Real Madrid have already signed five players and have spent over £300million in this summer transfer window so far.
United have already made it clear that they would not consider any offer of less than £150million for the midfield maestro. As a result, it seems that they can’t comply with the Financial Fair Play policies if they sign Pogba from Manchester United.
What is next?
Madrid’s hesitation in completing the deal could open the doors for the Italian giants Juventus. However, if reports surrounding the Italian champions are to be believed, they are now favourites to launch Matthijs de Ligt from Ajax Amsterdam, which could rule them out of the Pogba chase.
