After all the stories of Paul Pogba potentially leaving Manchester United amid all the José Mourinho ‘feud’ talk, Real Madrid were always the ones being bought up as a potential landing spot.

Understandably, too, considering they’re one of the few clubs who could actually afford the France international if he were to leave Old Trafford, but now Barcelona have now been thrown into the mix by Eduardo Inda, OKDIARIO’s director in Spain, but only on one condition: if he cost less than €100m.

Inda has Manchester United spending ‘€120m’ on the midfielder in the first place, and, if we play along instead of correcting him by saying he cost £89m, the Premier League side aren’t exactly going to let him leave for less than they bought him for.

However, if it ever came to that, Barcelona might have a better chance of getting Pogba than Real Madrid, as Florentino Pérez and co. aren’t prepared to negotiate with Mino Raiola, but the Catalans are.

Inda describes the French midfielder as an ‘objective of desire’ for the La Liga leaders, but he’s simply too expensive.

The problem for Barcelona here is that Pogba isn’t going to depreciate anytime soon, unless his performances really take a tumble in the coming weeks to Eric Djemba-Djemba kind of levels.

They might be waiting a while.
