Real Madrid could follow the Hazard plan with Pogba Real Madrid Frenchman's contract expires in 2021

Paul Pogba is still waiting for a miracle as he hopes to join Real Madrid this summer, but only Zinedine Zidane is thinking about it in the capital.

The coach continues to want the midfielder, as he has done since returning to the job.

Pogba's agent, Mino Raiola, has been working tirelessly to make something happen and to allow his client to leave Old Trafford, and he again insisted to Manchester United's decision-makers on Wednesday that they would not be renewing the midfielder's contract, which is set to expire in 2021.

The Frenchman dreams of playing under Zidane, and he's done everything possible to try to get a move without downing tools in Manchester, but the Premier League side won't listen to offers under 200 million euros.

Raiola has explained that the deal won't be renewed though, and Madrid could go about things similarly to their signing of Eden Hazard, signing him a year before his contract expires for a lower cost.

Christian Eriksen and Donny van de Beek

Despite Pogba's desire to move, it's hard to see the deal happening in just four days. It's almost impossible for it to happen this summer, and Madrid could look to their backup options in the interim: Tottenham Hotspur playmaker Christian Eriksen and Ajax star Donny van de Beek.
