Sky Sports’ Spanish football expert Guillem Balague believes that Paul Pogba’s main priority is to join Real Madrid this summer. The Frenchman has been linked with a world record move to United, but Madrid are also interested in acquiring his services.

Reports across the globe have confirmed that Manchester United chief executive Ed Woodward has begun negotiations with Juventus over the possible transfer of Pogba, who left Old Trafford in 2012 on a free transfer.

Now rated as one of the best in the world, the midfielder is linked with a £100 million move back to Old Trafford and the 23-year-old is believed to be the fourth addition that newly-appointed boss Jose Mourinho wants to sign.

However, Balague thinks that Pogba would prefer a move to Los Blancos.

“Pogba has made it very clear, to Real Madrid anyway, that he would like to be a Real Madrid player this summer,” he told Sky Sports News HQ.

“He has had conversations with Zinedine Zidane and he wants to play for Zidane.”

“The problem is Real Madrid feel the kind of money that Manchester United is willing to pay for him is crazy and they cannot match it.”

Pogba is still on international duty at Euro 2016 with France, who will play Portugal in the final on Sunday. His agent Mino Raiola has already helped two of his clients join the Red Devils this summer with Ibrahimovic and Mkhitaryan joining – and now he is well on the way to making it 3.

“[Pogba’s desire to join Real] doesn’t stop his agent, Mino Raiola, from getting other kinds of agreements,” Balague added.

“It has been reported that Manchester United may have a personal agreement with Pogba and I fully believe that is the case, but it wouldn’t be the first time more than one personal agreement had been reached.”

“In any case, while we’re unsure as to Raiola’s priorities, Pogba’s is to go to Real Madrid.”

“He might not get his wish because Real Madrid has let Mino Raiola know that they are not willing to match the valuation Juventus and him have determined of the player.”

“We will have to wait a while to see how this pans out but one thing is certain, both Real Madrid and Manchester United want the player.”
