Juventus midfielder Paul Pogba has reportedly told interested clubs that he wants a decision over his future to be made before the end of the month.
Widespread reports have claimed that Manchester United are weighing up a record-breaking deal worth somewhere in the region of £100m to re-sign the player they released on a free contract four years ago.
Pogba has largely remained coy when asked to speak publicly about his future, declaring earlier this week that he was "happy" to remain in Turin but still unsure exactly where he will be plying his trade next season.
According to Spanish publication Marca, Real Madrid are unlikely to make an approach for the France international due to his underwhelming displays at Euro 2016, as well as his inability to successfully adapt to different midfield positions.
It is claimed that Man United's interest still remains strong, however, and a bid could be placed on the table over the next week once Pogba returns from his short break in Los Angeles, although both player and agent Mino Raiola are adamant that any deal must be finalised prior to August.
Pogba made 35 appearances for Juventus last season, scoring eight times to help the Italian giants to their fifth successive Serie A title.
