Report: Real Madrid step up Paul Pogba efforts

Real Madrid are reportedly prepared to part with Fabio Coentrao, Angel di Maria and Alvaro Morata this summer in order to sign Paul Pogba from Juventus.

Pogba is widely regarded as one of the top young midfielders in European football, with his performances over the last 12 months drawing interest from a number of clubs.

Los Blancos are believed to be the favourites for the 21-year-old and, according to Corriere dello Sport, the Spanish club are prepared to offer Coentrao, Di Maria and Morata to Juventus in a swap deal that would see Pogba move to the Bernabeu.

Former French international Zinedine Zidane, who is currently assistant manager at Madrid, is reportedly playing a major part in the pursuit of the youngster.
