Paul Pogba explains Manchester United escape plan in phone call to Real Madrid transfer chief in last 24hrs

Real Madrid president Florentino Perez has reportedly received a phone call in the last 24 hours from Manchester United star Paul Pogba regarding his transfer plans.

Although it is not made clear if this was a direct call or one between Pogba’s agent and the Madrid chief, Don Balon state the France international has made it clear he’s only after a move to Barcelona.

The piece adds that the 25-year-old has made it his priority to leave United as soon as possible, with a January switch to the Nou Camp perhaps on the cards.

Don Balon state Pogba is aware Barcelona will come back in for him after some talk of a summer switch never materialised, and he’d prefer moving to the Catalan giants over Los Blancos.
