Raphael Varane wants Paul Pogba at Real Madrid

Raphael Varane has revealed that he "would love" for Juventus midfielder Paul Pogba to join him at Real Madrid.

Pogba, who left Manchester United on a free transfer in 2012, is widely regarded as the best young midfielder in Europe, with a number of clubs interested in his services.

Real have been strongly linked with a move, and now Varane has added fuel to the speculation by discussing his French compatriot.

"I have no information about any move," the 20-year-old told Telefoot.

"But personally, if it happens, I'd be very happy. I would love to play with him, but it's not my decision obviously."

Varane and Pogba are both expected to travel with the France squad for the 2014 World Cup.
