Real Madrid identify Man Utd favourite Pogba as next galactico, Perez is completely convinced

According to Don Balon, Real Madrid have identified Manchester United’s Paul Pogba to be their next galactico, with president Florentino Perez completely convinced he can replace the role held by Cristiano Ronaldo. After Ronaldo’s departure to Juventus, Los Blancos want to make a statement with a marquee signing, somebody popular who will boost their brand and Pogba would fit the bill perfectly.

The box-to-box midfielder is coming off the back of winning the 2018 World Cup with France and has been a target for Real for years. Prior to his return to Old Trafford from Juventus, Real were trying to convince him to the Santiago Bernabéu, to no avail.
