Real Madrid are reportedly readying a mammoth bid for Juventus midfielder Paul Pogba, as they aim to defeat their rivals in the hotly contested race to sign him.
Whilst their Spanish counterparts Barcelona had previously attempted to entice the Frenchman to the Camp Nou last summer, Madrid are now willing to outbid their competition by offering a gigantic transfer fee.
The Sun have reported that Zinedine Zidane’s men are willing to pay an estimated €130 million fee for the player, who is also a target for both Paris Saint-Germain and Manchester City.
It has previously been stated that Pogba would possibly prefer a move to Catalonia, although the recent appointment of French compatriot Zidane at the Estadio Santiago Bernabeu could may influence the 22-year-old’s decision in the future.
Having joined the Turin outfit from Manchester Untied in 2012, Pogba has since gone on to make 106 Serie A appearances for the club, winning three Italian league titles, as well as one Coppa Italia.
