A transfer which appeared all but complete has now suffered a new complication, with reports claiming that Paul Pogba isn’t too keen on a return to Old Trafford.
With his current employers Juventus signing Gonzalo Higuain, the Italian giants are destined to cash in on their French superstar. Manchester United are tipped as favorites, but the media have thrown Real Madrid into the mix.
However, Spanish radio station Cadena SER have dropped a bombshell, claiming that the 23-year-old actually favors a move to Santiago Bernabeu.
The Guardian recently wrote that despite recruiting Higuain, the Old Lady have informed the Red Devils that they are not forced to sell Pogba and are thus seeking to up his price tag.
Regardless, should the player have a say in his final destination, Pogba could instead turn up at Los Blancos. The report by Cadena states that Real Madrid will only be able to sign the Bleus ace if they cash in on James Rodriguez, though.
So why exactly is the Juventus ace on the brink of a Man United return? Cadena claim that it is his agent Mino Raiola who is pushing the player towards an English Premier League move.
Having already brokered the moves of Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Henrikh Mkhitaryan to the Theatre of Dreams, Raiola could pocket a huge profit should Paul land in Manchester.
