The Daily Star has recently reported that Manchester United midfielder Paul Pogba is planning to join Real Madrid on a free transfer next summer. It has been revealed that the France international is open to sealing a move to the Madrid club when he becomes a free agent at the end of this campaign.
Pogba’s Excellent Form At Manchester Last Season
Pogba has made a promising start to this league campaign as he secured four assists in Man United’s 5-1 victory over Leeds United at Old Trafford last weekend. The France international also proved himself to be an influential presence at the Theatre of Dreams last season when he appeared in 42 matches for the Red Devils, registering six goals and nine assists in various competitions.
The 28-year-old was a consistent performer at the heart of Ole Gunnar Solsjaer’s midfield after he averaged 1.4 tackles, 1.0 interceptions, 1.4 clearances, 1.2 shots, 1.0 key passes and 1.7 dribbles per 90 minutes in the previous Premier League campaign. He even took care of the ball well when distributing it from midfield, as evidenced by his pass success rate of 83% in the English top-flight (stats via whoscored).
Pogba is currently amongst the best central midfielders in European football, so there is no doubt that Real Madrid will do well to recruit him when he becomes available on a free transfer next summer. He is good enough to secure a regular starting place in Ancelotti’s first team and could serve as an ideal long-term replacement for Luka Modric, who is in the last legs of his playing career.
Will Pogba Be A Dream Signing For Real Madrid Next Summer?
Pogba can make some quick and powerful sprints with the ball in the opposition half and has got the vision to cut open the opponent’s defence with a killer pass in the final third. He is proficient at striking the ball with venom and precision from long range and has got a wide range of passes under his belt.
The France international has won a lot of major trophies in both club and domestic football. Hence, he has the winning mindset to be a huge success at a club like Real Madrid. Ancelotti needs to add more quality to his ageing midfield if he is planning to build a dynasty at the Bernabeu for the long run.
Pogba is a generational talent who would add more quality to Madrid’s midfield department. With all things considered, he will be a dream signing for the Spanish club, especially if they can land him on a free transfer at the end of this season.
