Solskjaer is looking to wield the axe at Manchester United

#4 Pogba to Real Madrid is a done deal, says Spanish journalist

Pogba might be moving from Manchester United to Real Madrid.

Paul Pogba has openly stated his desire to play for Real Madrid, describing it as a dream for him. He has also indicated that he wants to play under Zidane, but the biggest problem for the transfer has been Solskjaer's desire to build a team around the Frenchman. United, as such, are reluctant to sell Pogba, however recent reports from Spain bring some sensational news.

Eduardo Inda, the famous Spanish reporter, has made a sensational claim that Pogba has already agreed to join Real Madrid.

"The Pogba deal is practically done, Hazard will be the first to be unveiled by Real Madrid and the next will be Pogba.

"Paul has agreed to lower Manchester's salary: from 15m net per year to 12m.

"Adidas is pressing a lot because he is one of the two franchise players of the brand. I think we are talking about between 156 and 170 million."

It is further reported that Pogba had removed his agent Mino Raiola from the negotiation due to the latter's bad relationship with Real Madrid. If this turns out to be true, it will be a big blow for Solskjaer ahead of the season.
