Manchester United are only willing to part ways with Paul Pogba if he expresses a desire to leave the club in January.
The 28-year-old will enter the final six months of his deal next month and has yet to agree fresh terms at Old Trafford.
That leaves the France international able to discuss a pre-contract with foreign clubs from New Year's Day, with Real Madrid, Paris Saint-Germain and Juventus linked with the midfielder.
But The Mirror claim a bid to sign Pogba next month from any interested party will only be accepted if he makes it clear he wishes to depart Old Trafford.
