Spanish newspaper Marca have their own take on Paul Pogba to Manchester United. In their Friday newspaper, Marca explain just how keen Jose Mourinho is to sign the midfielder.
He’s labelled ‘obsessed’, and ‘willing to do anything’ to secure a deal. Mourinho is also said to have contacted Manchester United’s owners and wants the Frenchman bought ‘at all costs’.
Marca say Manchester United are willing to pay more than €100m to sign the player, and Juve’s asking price is put at a staggering €160m.
The English club are said to be aware of Real Madrid interest and are therefore in a rush. Mino Raiola has secured a meeting for next week with Juventus, during which he will present Manchester United’s offer for the player.
Real Madrid believe Juve’s asking price is ‘exorbitant’ and even though Manchester United would likely go lower than the €160m, their bid will still probably be higher than what Florentino Perez would pay.
Therefore, Marca say Madrid would rely on Juventus selling to them for a cheaper price, and the player pushing for the move. Marca don’t claim that Madrid have the will of the player, but they believe having Zinedine Zidane as manager must be a big pull.
French newspaper L’Equipe reported on Friday that Pogba has told friends and teammates he fancies a return to Manchester United.
