Juventus
have told the interested parties including Real Madrid that Paul Pogba will not
leave the club for less than €100million.
It
was reported earlier today that Paul Pogba’s agent Mino Raiola has advised Real
Madrid representatives to ready themselves for the big amount if they want to
sign Pogba this summer.
Real
Madrid have been eyeing the French midfielder for the past few months and had
an offer for him in the winter window. The Los Blancos are not the only side
keeping tabs on him, Barcelona and Premier League duo Manchester United and
Chelsea are also in the race, however a big amount will definitely make the
English sides to leave the race.
Pogba’s
agent Raiola told Spanish newspaper Marca:
“If Madrid want him, they can call
me.”
Raiola
also revealed that Barcelona are also keeping tabs on his client who will not
be sold for less than €100million as there is no such player of his generation
who can be compared to him.
“The cost of the operation would be
at least. He is the star of this generation and there is nobody out there like
him. Barcelona want him too.”
His
agent further said that he is like Zlatan Ibrahimovic, only few clubs can
afford him.
“Only seven clubs can afford Pogba.
He is someone who has ‘cojones,’ just like [Zlatan] Ibrahimovic.”
Carlo
Ancelotti and Zinidine Zidane have been a huge admirer of the 21-year-old
midfielder, they could plan for a €100million move.
The
Los Blancos failed to sign him prior to his move to Juventus from Manchester
United.
