After another summer window of being linked to Real Madrid, Paul Pogba has admitted that while he is happy with Manchester United, his dream is to play for the Los Blancos. The Frenchman has struggled to consistently produce the goods for the Old Trafford side but is still a key part of their team.
Despite reports indicating that Paul Pogba was set to leave Manchester United for Real Madrid this summer, no move materialized for the Frenchman. That was partly because the Los Blancosā finances were severely hit by the COVID-19 pandemic, with them not signing anyone. Instead, the club let a catalogue of stars leave this summer including Achraf Hakimi, Gareth Bale, Sergio Reguilon and a few others. But that hasnāt stopped them from being linked to footballās best from Kylian Mbappe all the way to Paul Pogba linked with moves.
The Manchester United midfielder has been heavily linked with one and the Times even reported that Real Madrid submitted a Ā£27.4 million plus James RodrĆguez bid for Pogba last summer. But while United rejected the said offer, the former Juventus midfielder admitted that playing for Real Madrid is his dream. Pogba further added that while he loves playing for Manchester United, heās looking to play for the La Liga giants one day.
āZidane? We all heard it [the speculation], things were said. My reply? Yes, every football player would like to play at Real Madrid. It may be a dream. Itās a dream for me, why not one day? Iām in Manchester and I love my club. Iām performing in Manchester, Iām enjoying myself and I want to do everything to put the club back where it deserves to be. Iāll give my all, just like my team-mates,ā Pogba said reported the Times.
