5 European giants that could possibly land Paul Pogba this summer

In the summer of 2012, when Manchester United let go of Paul Pogba, they would have never believed that their decision would come back to haunt them. Pogba has become a phenomenon at Juventus. The defensive midfielder has taken the Serie A by storm. His agent, Mino Raiola was right in saying that Juventus offered the 19-year old Pogba of 2012, the best deal following the exit from Old Trafford.Pogba made just 6 appearances under Sir Alex before accepting a move to Italian giants, Juventus. Contrastingly, he has grown prodigiously under Antonio Conte, who trusted Pogba with a place in the starting line-up rather than send him out on loan by virtue of his tender age and inexperience. Other suitors who came to obtain the Frenchman’s services include the likes of AC Milan and Genoa. As Raiola has revealed, first team football attracted Pogba to Juventus.Two years hence, it is hard to see what clubs around the world can offer, to lure this very obvious talent away from the Serie A. Pogba’s market value has skyrocketed in the last two seasons following impressive performances for club and country. The hunt for his signature has begun yet again. Only this time there are a bigger clubs with mighty financial resources chasing Pogba. But only one will be successful at the end.  

#1 Real Madrid

Big spending Real Madrid may yet again end up victorious in a global financial transfer battle. Mino Raiola has confirmed that Pogba will leave Juventus in the next two years upon the completion of his contract. Madrid who have, in the recent past, strived to build a team of superstars look to make another addition to their squad this summer.

It will not be surprising if this youngster is standing on the Ballon D’or podium as one of the best of the world. Madrid’s midfield already looks daunting. The uncertain futures of Sami Khedira and Gareth Bale makes Paul Pogba seem a more than competent replacement. The Frenchman has world class skills and vision which provide little evidence of his young age.

Real Madrid have broken the $100 million barrier twice in the last 6 years. There is no reason why the Los Blancos would not do it a third time.
