Just as WhatsApp has changed its name to WhatsApp Messenger in the world of technology, Real Madrid has done the same with a goal for the 2019-20 transfer market. It's about Paul Pogba, who, according to the Spanish portal 'Don Balón', has taken a backseat in Florentino Pérez's list of signings.
At Valdebebas, they understand that Manchester United will never stop hindering the departure of the French star from Old Trafford. At the English club, they first asked for 100 million euros, then 160 million, and it is not ruled out that when Madrid wants to try again to sign him in the winter, the 'Red Devils' will raise the price again.
That is why, according to the aforementioned source, Real Madrid has pointed out the name of Renato Sanches as the 'plan B'. The Portuguese star from Bayern Munich plays in the same position as the Frenchman from United and his signing would be much cheaper. In addition, the Merengues have in their favor that the 'Golden Boy' does not want to know more about the Germans.
As he confessed a few days ago, Sanches is tired of playing so little under Kovac as coach. That's why he has repeatedly asked the Bayern Munich board to let him leave in the current transfer market. With Pogba and Van de Beek ruled out, the Euro 2016 champion's option gains strength in Chamartín.
"I'm sad," the Portuguese said in statements to the German channel Sport1. "I'm not angry, but this situation is not good for me. It's the second time I've asked to leave and they won't let me," added Sanches, who, just like WhatsApp changed its name, wants a change of scenery.
