Zinedine Zidane gave his thoughts on Paul Pogba during an interview with French radio station RTL. “He has everything,” said the Castilla coach when asked about his fellow countryman.
The French coach was full of praise for the midfielder: “I think that he’s fantastic. What I like about him is that he has it all. He is a complete player who also has the ability to score goals because he likes to get forward. In terms of footballing qualities, he is extraordinary.”
Zidane also admitted that Real Madrid are interested in signing him. “A lot of clubs are interested in him and so are Real. It is natural that talented players are of interest to all the big clubs. For his continued growth it is important that he has a healthy environment and I hope that he will always have that."
Zidane somewhat contradicts the statement from the club, which denied interest in the player after Turin-based newspaper La Stampa reported that contact had been made with player and Juventus.
Pogba, 22, arrived at Juventus in 2012 from the youth ranks of Manchester United, who signed him from French club Le Havre. This season he has played in 41 matches with Juventus and scored ten goals, as well as contributing 11 assists.
