It’s no exaggeration to say the consensus in the Spanish media is that Real Madrid will be signing Paul Pogba this summer, it’s just a matter of when and for how much.
The Manchester United player has made it clear he’s looking for a new challenge in the current transfer window, and Madrid has long seemed like the club he’s got his heart set on joining.
Marca‘s Monday slant is that Madrid have Pogba on the ‘fast track’ to a transfer.
They want to get a deal done before Manchester United return to preseason training on Monday July 1st. That’s just two weeks away from today, so Marca believe it’s an ambitious aim.
Real Madrid are aware it will be hard to get things concluded so quickly, but the idea is that Pogba wouldn’t then have to go through the awkwardness of turning up for Manchester United preseason training, and would also get an extra week off, with the Spanish club starting their efforts a week later.
Real Madrid are said to be aware they’ll have to go ‘well above’ €150m.
