Real Madrid 'make fresh plan for January Paul Pogba bid'

Real Madrid are allegedly prepared to offer €85m (£72.43m) plus two players for Manchester United midfielder Paul Pogba.

Despite expressing a desire to take on a new challenge during the summer, Pogba has remained at Old Trafford for the first half of the campaign.

However, speculation persists regarding a potential exit in January, partly due to United having to make do without the France international since September due to injury.

According to El Desmarque, Real president Florentino Perez is happy to put together a players-plus-cash proposal for the 26-year-old.

The report claims that the Los Blancos chief wants to include James Rodriguez and Mariano Diaz in any deal to sign the World Cup winner.

United are likely to reject the bid, with the Premier League giants valuing Pogba in the region of £130m.
