Paul Pogba edging closer to Real Madrid

The French player is set to prioritise an offer from the LaLiga side over that of a Juventus bid or a renewal offer from Manchester United.

"Pogba will prioritise Real Madrid". This is the message being filtered from the player's circle of confidence with the French international heavily linked with a move to the Spanish club in recent years.

Real Madrid head coach Zinedine Zidane is a long time admirer of the midfielder and his name was high on the list of priorities for the Bernabéu side last summer but a move failed to materialise after current club Manchester United refused to drop their asking price.

As things stand, it's believed that Pogba will prioritise a move to the Spanish capital over any potential bid that emerges from Turin based Juventus or a renewal proposal from the Old Trafford side. Pogba's current deal with United expires in 2021 and the English side will want to renew this summer or cash in on a sale with the knowledge that the Frenchman will be a free agent come June 30th (2021).
