During the last international break, Manchester United star Paul Pogba admitted that Real Madrid is a ‘dream club’.
A few days back, Los Blancos manager Zinedine Zidane opened the door for the World Cup winner to make a switch to the Spanish capital club.
On Monday, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer played down the comments made by the midfielder about the 13-time European champions and stressed the former Juventus man is happy with the Premier League club.
In the summer, the 26-year-old will have two years left on his contract at Old Trafford and despite the comments made by the English club’s manager, it won’t stop him being linked with a move to Real Madrid.
The front page of today’s edition of AS claims the France international is the ‘first objective’ for Zidane for his new project at Santiago Bernabeu.
Real Madrid’s manager has requested the club to sign the Red Devils player, but AS states that taking Pogba away from Manchester United ‘will be more difficult’ for the La Liga giants than getting Eden Hazard.
Solskjaer’s latest comments suggest the 20-time English champions are unwilling to part ways with Pogba, at least in the summer.
Real Madrid are aware that an operation to bring the Frenchman to Spain will not be an easy task, especially when United retained Pogba last summer when he wanted to leave the club as he was unhappy under Jose Mourinho.
