Real Madrid 'end their interest in Paul Pogba'

Real Madrid 'end their interest in Paul Pogba'

Real Madrid will reportedly not be moving for Manchester United midfielder Paul Pogba this summer.

The speculation surrounding the France international's future continues to gather pace as his current deal at Old Trafford is due to expire at the end of next season.

United do have the option of activating a further 12 months, although Madrid, Juventus, Paris Saint-Germain and Inter Milan have all been heavily linked with his services ahead of the 2020-21 campaign.

According to Tuttosport, Los Blancos have ended their interest in the 2018 World Cup winner as the deal will prove to be too expensive in the current climate.

The report claims that Pogba would have to be prepared to take a significant pay cut to move to the Bernabeu as he earns in the region of £11.5m a year at Old Trafford.

The 27-year-old has only made eight appearances for Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's side this season, with a troublesome ankle problem, which eventually required surgery, keeping him on the sidelines.

Madrid also continue to be strongly linked with Rennes youngster Eduardo Camavinga, although the financial impact of the coronavirus outbreak could scupper a deal.
