The thing with this deal, it's unlike Madrid not to use the press to help their cause, they are being very quiet and respectful. So either the deal is agreed, or there is nothing in it, surely.
Very odd
To be fair they’ve been kept busy with all the other signings Madrid are making just signed a LB think that’s 5 players already in this summer. Shows what you can do when you’ve got your structure and plan in place.
I think Pogba was the luxury deal if they can clear out big names and wages including Modric to make space in the starting XI for Pogba but if that doesn’t happen I don’t think they’re worried about sticking with what they have.
Sounds like all the talk on Pogba is coming from the Pogba camp his agent will know that unless he comes with a huge offer Utd aren’t going to sell and so far he’s struggled to find someone willing to pay.
There’s a 1hr long interview available as a podcast through the times (look for a podcast called the game podcast) which gives you a bit of an idea of the type of person he is and why he does some of the things he does. Seems a decent guy to be honest.
