Paul Pogba has been linked with Real Madrid for a long time now. But it was reported earlier that he is staying at Manchester United. But in a recent interview, he said there is a chance of him playing for Madrid.
Paul Pogba has been always an admirer of Real Madrid and their boss Zinedine Zidane. He was asked about the Real Madrid move. He said, “Yes, all footballers would like to play for Real Madrid. Maybe it is a dream. It is a dream for me, why not one day? As I have said, I am at Manchester United and I like my club. I am performing at Manchester United, I am enjoying myself and I want to do everything I can to get the club back to where it deserves to be. I am going to give my maximum, like my teammates.”
He also said, “I am at Manchester. We know that this has been spoken about a lot and I have not (spoken about it). I heard a lot of noise that I was going to leave and I was going to leave for clubs left and right. Today, I am still at Manchester United and I am fighting to try to take the club even higher.”
“I prefer to concentrate on football and on returning to fitness. Nobody has said anything to me. I have not spoken with Ed Woodward. I have not been spoken to about an extension. For the moment, I am at Manchester United and I am thinking above all to hit my top form. I think that there will be a moment where the club comes to speak to me and maybe offers me something, or not. For the moment, nothing has happened. I cannot tell you something that I know nothing about. I am really thinking about me, to come back well and to produce great performances for my club.”
Pogba: “All the players will tell you that they would love to play for Real Madrid. It might be a dream one day, yes why not. But I am in Manchester. I love my club, I perform in Manchester and I will do everything to get us back to the best level."
