3 players who could replace Luka Modric if he leaves Real Madrid

#2 Paul Pogba

Pogba could leave Manchester United this summer

The Frenchman’s impressive run in the recently concluded World Cup has only seen his stocks rise to a new high. So much so, that many European clubs, who wouldn’t perhaps bid for the midfielder owing to his inconsistent form last season, are now lining up to acquire his services including Real Madrid’s rival Barcelona.

Although Pogba doesn’t seem the most ideal replacement of Modric, he could prove to be one, considering he would have a lot more freedom in the middle of the park playing for the Los Blancos as opposed to at Manchester United.

Florentino Perez, the Real Madrid president admires the midfielder and had tried unsuccessfully to bring him to the Bernabeu in the past. Also the 25-year-old is reportedly unhappy at the Premier League outfit and considering a move away from the club.

However, with the transfer deadline looming, the prospect of signing Pogba seems implausible at this juncture.
