Why Real Madrid are NOT in the race for Pogba?

Keeping up with Paul Pogba and Manchester United’s dysfunctional relationship is quite difficult. Especially when the player has publicly stated on multiple occasions that he dreams of playing for Real Madrid one day. 

Considering that Los Blancos have a pretty aging midfield, signing Pogba could be a great move. So, why haven’t Madrid thrown their name in the hat? 

There are three main reasons for it:

Zidane’s future at the club

Real Madrid are currently on a terrible run of form and are currently at the risk of dropping down to the Europa League if they fail to win their match against Borussia Mönchengladbach tonight. 

Furthermore, Zidane’s future is also doubtful at Madrid given the team’s lacklustre performance since the start of the season, with the defeats coming in more frequently than the successes. 

Madrid must sort out the managerial side of things first to give the club a direction before making hefty investments. And this leads us to the second reason…

The monetary factor

Real Madrid recently reported a profit worth about €300,000 from the 19/20 season, but have surely taken a massive financial hit due to the pandemic. In these trying times, signing a player whose wages are worth €18 million after taxes might not be the best move for the reigning La Liga Champions financially. 

Mino Raiola’s influence

As of late, there has been minimal business between Madrid President Florentino Perez and Pogba’s agent Mino Raiola. Considering that there are a few options in midfield and that Madrid might not be the most suitable option given their current situation, a move to Juventus could always be on the cards. 

Raiola has an excellent relationship with Juventus’s President, and the player is also very appreciated throughout the club. This could create more of a possibility for a move back to Turin.
