Though Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is said to want to build his new-look United side around Pogba, the midfielder is believed to have his heart set on a move to the Bernabeu where he will have the chance to play under his idol, Zinedine Zidane.
Despite Juve's interest - and willingness to send players in the opposite direction as part of any deal - Pogba reportedly prefers the idea of a move to Madrid over a return to Turin.
United are said to want a fee of around £160m for Pogba, something which may prove problematic for Real, given their free-spending start to the summer.
Florentino Perez has already sanctioned high-profile, big money moves for Luka Jovic, Eden Hazard and Ferland Mendy for a combined total of close to £200m. This follows the £42.7m deal they agreed with Porto for Eder Militao earlier in the year while Rodrygo, the 18-year-old Brazilian they signed for £40m from Santos last year, will also arrive later in the summer.
Real, even with all their spending power, may be forced to sell some of their star players to facilitate a move for Pogba.Explore more on these topics:
