Paul Pogba is likely to leave Manchester United for the second time this summer – the only question is where is he headed?
According to The Sunday Express, Real Madrid are ready to match United’s £120 million valuation for the player, but may need to offload Gareth Bale first to fund the deal.
That has opened the door for Pogba’s former club Juventus to try and steal a march on them by offering Argentine playmaker Paolo Dybala and full-back Alex Sandro, who has long been linked with a move to Chelsea, in part exchange.
Dybala has struggled to hold down a regular place at Juventus since the arrival of Cristiano Ronaldo at the club, whilst Sandro would provide direct competition for Luke Shaw.
Pogba won 4 consecutive Serie A titles with Juventus before his £94.5 million switch to United.
