No transfer rumour should be ruled out right? Last summer we saw Neymar depart Camp Nou on a record-breaking transfer fee to Paris Saint-Germain in hopes of winning the Balon d’Or. And now another unlikely transfer deal is brewing up which might turn out to be true – Real Madrid are ready to break the bank to sign Manchester United superstar, Paul Pogba.
If you are a United fan, the news might come as a shock to you but in the present market where players are being offered millions of dollars like they were pennies in a jar, anything is possible.
The Frenchman is quite clearly happy to make the return to his former side from Juventus. Having developed himself into a marquee player in the Serie A, the fans at Old Trafford welcomed the 24-year-old with great pomp on a £89m deal. Pogba’s arrival along with the appointment of Jose Mourinho sparked the clubs resurgence to title-contending status and reappearing in the Champions League.
However, United are nowhere close to their Noisy Neighbours in the league and has fallen 12 points behinds. Their European campaign is still alive but the team still does not match up to the likes of PSG, Real Madrid and Barcelona. In all honesty, Pep Guardiola has a better chance of breaking into the final four rather than the Portuguese tactician and this might be a cause for concern for a player like Pogba.
The French international is ambitious and wants to win the biggest trophies. Judging by the past two seasons, who else can provide him with a better opportunity of winning the Champions League other than the two-time consecutive reigning champions? The Galacticos are struggling in the current campaign but their future is still as bright as it was last year. Zinedine Zidane is dealing with a few problems including the mental fatigue the players are going through.
Cristiano Ronaldo’s terms with the club have also soured in recent times and the five-time Balon d’Or winner is looking to make a return to the Premier League. Obviously, this is a huge concern for Galactico fans who are just observing their rivals, Barcelona bolsters their own squad ranks with big money signings. Not only has the title slipped out of their hands this season, chances of winning the Champions League trophy is looking more and more unlikely as the days progress.They need to prepare for the possibility of losing their best player in a shock transfer and should snap up the opportunity to sign another superstar in Pogba.
Reports emerged earlier this month that Florentino Perez might be looking to offload Toni Kroos if an agreeable bid comes in in order to make way for Neymar. But with the Brazilian just on his first season with the Parisians maybe the Los Blancos president has shifted his attention on Pogba. The entire ordeal turns out to be confusing as Pogba and Neymar play in completely different positions. Does the Madrid boss just want an overhaul of the world’s best players or is he equally baffled over the possibility of losing quite possibly the best player the club has ever had?
