Paul Pogba’s agent, Mino Raiola, says the Juventus midfielder is not interested in moving to Real Madrid.
The French starlet signed a new contract with the Bianconeri in October, but has been repeatedly linked with a move away from Turin, with Real Madrid one of the clubs reportedly interested.
However, in an interview with French sports newspaper L’Equipe, Raiola has dismissed those rumours.

The French starlet signed a new contract with the Bianconeri in October, but has been repeatedly linked with a move away from Turin, with Real Madrid one of the clubs reportedly interested.
However, in an interview with French sports newspaper L’Equipe, Raiola has dismissed those rumours.
“Everyone says he [Pogba] is the player with the most potential they’ve ever seen,” the famous agent explained.
“I’m the only one who doesn’t talk about Paul and the transfer market. His contract has been extended with Juventus, with the idea that he’s one of the top players at the club.
“Now, if another club wants Pogba, then they can present us with an offer, and we won’t talk about money. Paul will go where he feels good, where he’ll be happy.
“Real Madrid say they’re not interested? Good, if that’s the case we’re not interested either!
“I never went to Real Madrid and said to them ‘please buy Pogba’, never. Real Madrid are a club which is in the habit of buying players like they’re a washcloth, then disposing of them like a washcloth.
“Real is a club which sees a player have six good games in the World Cup and then buys him. We don’t want to go to a club like that.
“We want to go to a club that believes in Paul’s potential. I’m not closing the door to Real, but I’m not going to open it either.”
Raiola did not, however, rule out a move to Paris Saint-Germain where several of his clients, including Zlatan Ibrahimovic, currently play.
“Someone in the Italian media asked me what Pogba’s value is. I replied that Pogba is like a work by Basquiat [a famous American artist].
“Why did I say that? Because no-one knows Paul’s real value. People don’t believe me, but if someone likes Pogba it could be €100m, €120m, €130m…
“PSG? I prefer to act when something concrete develops. I just know that Paul will be successful regardless of which club he’s at.”
