Bizarre rumours claim Paul Pogba is on his way to Real Madrid for a medical, but he’s in the Juventus squad against Verona.
The completely unsubstantiated reports have been gathering steam throughout the weekend, culminating in the Daily Star suggesting a £78m offer – €100m.
The story apparently started via ESPN Brazil, who claimed Pogba was already on a plane to Madrid in order to undergo his medical with the Merengues.

At that same moment the French international was named as part of the Juventus squad preparing to face Verona on Sunday evening in Turin.
The 21-year-old only signed a contract extension to 2019 in October and it has no release clause.
That means any club eager to buy Pogba must negotiate directly with Juventus and meet their demands.
Pogba’s agent Mino Raiola tried to stir up speculation this week when saying he won’t stay in Italy.
“It will be up to Juventus. We have renewed his contract, we’re happy with Juventus, but when the time is right to leave we’ll take that opportunity. We’ll see, I don’t know when the right time will come…”
Bianconeri Coach Max Allegri responded by pointing out “Juventus can afford Pogba because he already plays for Juventus. It’s only normal that all of Europe wants him, as he’s only 21 years old and immensely talented.”
