Real Madrid continues its preseason in Canada, reinforcing the physical part under the watchful eye of Zidane once again after the death of his brother. Florentino Pérez is also in Montreal to activate the 'Operation Exit' and see how he can make money with some players to go for Paul Pogba, the 'whim' of the French coach.
Although the negotiation will not be easy. The Real Madrid club already assumed that signing the French midfielder will be a real challenge. Manchester United is asking for an astronomical amount for the 26-year-old player, just under 200 million euros; in addition, the player's agent, Mino Raiola, plays his own role seeking to take advantage of the situation.
According to OK Diario, the Italian agent is demanding very high conditions, something that greatly annoys the Chamartín club, especially the way in which he is trying to separate his player from United. "Manchester United knows what Pogba's wish has been for a long time," he declared a few days ago, a way of doing things that is not to the liking of the Real Madrid club.
On the other hand, while the true soap opera of the European summer is being clarified, the player is in Australia with United during the preseason, demonstrating all the professionalism expected of him. Real Madrid, always reluctant to do business with Raiola's players, will make an exception because he is a player who is to Zidane's liking.
