Paul Pogba 'fears being priced out of Real Madrid move'

Pogba 'fears being priced out of Madrid move'

Manchester United midfielder Paul Pogba is reportedly fearful that he will be priced out of a move to Real Madrid during this summer's transfer window.

Pogba's future has been the subject of much speculation since the end of the 2019-20 campaign, with Madrid and Juventus both linked with moves for the France international.

However, according to The Mirror, the fact that United want at least £150m for the 2018 World Cup winner will make it difficult for Madrid to complete a deal at this stage of the window.

The report claims that Los Blancos are also reluctant to meet Pogba's wage demands of £500,000 a week, with the club's president Florentino Perez against the move due to the finances involved.

Pogba has been heavily involved in United's preparations for the 2019-20 campaign despite the speculation surrounding his future.

The 26-year-old was not involved in Saturday's International Champions Cup clash against AC Milan, although Ole Gunnar Solskjaer insisted that his absence was due to a back problem.
