Real Madrid: Three Alternatives to Paul Pogba

Real Madrid might be closing the doors to Paul Pogba, given his high price tag. If it is the case, Los Blancos will have to look for alternatives to the Frenchman.

Reports suggest that the French World Cup Winner is at the top of Zidane’s wishlist. Allegedly, Los Blancos manager had insisted on the signing of the Manchester United player when he agreed to come back and coach the Royal Whites.

A healthy and inform Pogba can score and create 15-20 goals a season. That is the mold of midfielder Real Madrid wants to add in their squad.

However, with his injuries and lack of playing time, it is unknown which Pogba Los Blancos is going to get if they signed him. Furthermore, Manchester United’s high asking price for their midfield star seems to have cooled down Florentino Perez’s interest. If it is accurate, Perez might have to look for a different midfielder to sign. As such, here are three alternatives to Paul Pogba that El Presidente might fancy.
