Manchester United have put a £150million price tag on their star midfielder Paul Pogba, but Real Madrid are not giving up that easily.
Pogba endured a difficult start to last season before enjoying a brief upsurge when Ole Gunnar Solskjaer took the reins in December.
However he remains unsettled in Manchester and earlier this month confessed it might be time for a new challenge away from Old Trafford.
Fellow Frenchman Zinedine Zidane, who was reappointed as Los Blancos boss last season, is reportedly keen on recruiting the midfielder despite splashing a staggering £344million on five players already this summer.
The Mirror report that United have slapped a princely £150m price tag on the midfielder in order to stave off Madrid, who are hoping to bounce back from an underwhelming campaign last year.
But they claim that Zidane is pleading with Madrid chief Florentino Perez to splash out once again to land another Galactico, following the signing of Eden Hazard from Chelsea.

Pogba should please call Perez for them to have an agreement fast.... let Pogba come to AON by July 1st and officially make a transfer request then he should call Perez to send £100m while Pogba adds £50m then deal done very simply... Man utd tries to buy Partey for £40m and try to also buy Fernandes £60m and keep the other £50m for flexing

It is not for me to comment or give advise on another club's decision making, but I am just thinking aloud.. Yes, Pogba is a good and talented footballer.. But one needs more than talent to become great... The guy lacks character and attitude, and hence, he will always constitute a clog on the wheel of progress of any club that employs him. A player like him is a bad news in the dressing room. I wouldn't want players of his ilk in my beloved Liverpool team anyway..
