Pogba adamant that he wants a move: he rejected a renewal in January Transfer Market - Real Madrid Has sent message that he wants a move

Real Madrid didn't get their desire in the summer of 2016 when they failed to pull off a move for Paul Pogba and he ended up joining Manchester United for 114 million euros.

Time has passed but what hasn't changed is the interest in him.

That was made clear in Zinedine Zidane's press conference on Saturday and he has reportedly held conversations in which he outlined his eagerness to be at the Estadio Santiago Bernabeu next season.

Zidane's willingness to bring him in comes about as a result of his knowledge that the midfielder wants a change of scenery, leaving behind the Premier League and embarking on a new challenge at Real Madrid.

In addition, Mino Raiola, his agent and confidante, has informed Real Madrid that anything is possible and it will not be as difficult to sign Pogba as it would be to bring in a Kylian Mbappe for example.

There is optimism at Real Madrid over a deal, but it is moderate because they know that the deal won't be simple or cheap.

Despite Pogba's lofty price tag, Zidane has transmitted to the club that his compatriot is a player who can provide muscle, directness and quality, things that have been missing this season.

Raiola is scheduled to travel to Manchester shortly to discuss the position of the English club.

Last January, United's hierarchy attempted to open talks over a new deal for Pogba, which was rejected by his camp.
