An insider has revealed the latest details of Real Madrid’s pursuit of Manchester United midfielder Paul Pogba.
Pogba has made clear his desire to leave Old Trafford, with Real Madrid looking most likely to offer the France star an escape from Old Trafford.
But United have insisted that Pogba is for sale, though reports suggest they may be tempted to do business should they receive an offer close to €200m (£180m).
Juventus cannot afford their former player so they have resorted to offering United three players in exchange, while Real are said to be launching ‘Operation 200’ to raise the money to sign Pogba.
And now Spanish newspaper AS (via Sport Witness) brings us quotes from an insider to reveal the latest as Real continue their pursuit of Pogba.
The report claims that Los Blancos are confident of getting their man but the source claims “it could last until late August … why not?”
Real will make their first bid in August and ‘could then make an attempt later that month’ if that offer is rejected.
If no deal is struck by August 8 then Real could look at alternative options and will ‘reorganise their strategy’.
The Spanish side ‘would not pay more than €150m in any case’ despite United demanding €200m for the 26-year-old.
A source close to the France international told AS: “We have to keep calm, we are working on it.”
