France international, Paul Pogba, who was part of the 2018 FIFA World Cup winning team in Russia, has been a transfer target for Real Madrid and manager Zinedine Zidane is an admirer of the central midfielder, but the 26 year old looks to have angered his teammates to be as he wants to demand to be the highest played player in the club.
Agent of the inform midfielder, Mino Raiola has said that Paul Pogna’s wage demand is £13.65million as Real Madrid are looking to bring the World Cup winner to the Estadio Santiago Bernabeu stadium. Pogba has been in fine form since Manchester United’s interim manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer took over and has drawn interest from the Spanish, but they will have o make him the highest earner in the team to seal the team, according to Tuttosport.
Currently, Welsh winger Gareth Bale earns around £11.9m a year, while captain Sergio Ramos picks up £9.3m. But both would be dwarfed by the World Cup winner’s salary demands, with Pogba currently on around £8.65m at Manchester United. Real Madrid are set to conduct an overhaul of their squad this summer under returning boss Zinedine Zidane.
A disappointing campaign has seen them slip out of La Liga contention and suffer an embarrassing Champions League capitulation against Ajax. Pogba has admitted a move to Real would be a ‘dream’, and it is thought that playing under compatriot Zidane would be a big draw.
