Paul Pogba could be set for a Real Madrid move in January with Manchester United considering the possibility of shipping him earlier than expected as the player’s deal expires next summer.
The France international is contracted to the Old Trafford giants until the end of the 2021-22 campaign and uncertainty has only grown concerning his future in the United shirt with contract talks dragging on.
Real Madrid have long been positioned as the frontrunners in the race to land the midfield maestro from the Red Devils who fear losing out on their star first-team regular for nothing should he leave on a free transfer at the end of his contract.
Reports from Spanish news outlet Mundo Deportivo claim that Manchester United could be forced into offloading Pogba as early as in the January window in the hope of recouping a sizable amount from his sale to Carlo Ancelotti’s Real Madrid.
The La Liga bigwigs have kept close tabs on the 28-year-old Pogba but are understood to be willing to delay an approach for the player to avoid forking out a transfer fee to bring him to Santiago Bernabéu Stadium.
