REAL MADRID boss Zinedine Zidane hasn’t given up hope of signing Paul Pogba before the continental window slams shut.
Los Blancos have until September 2 to land the Manchester United midfielder, with the French World Cup winner valued at around £180million by the Red Devils.
According to Marca, Zidane wants Real to make one last push for the 26-year-old, with the player believed to be keen to work under his compatriot.
And it isn’t just Zizou who wants Pogba to move to the Bernabeu, with vandals spraying the phrase “Pogba Out” on a new sign outside the entrance of United’s training ground this morning.
The former Juventus star was subject to vile racist abuse last week on social media after he missed a penalty during the 1-1 draw against Wolves at Molineux.
Pogba fuelled speculation regarding his future immediately after the 4-0 win against Chelsea a fortnight ago when he claimed there is still a “question mark” over where he will be playing.
And Pogba’s brother Mathias has insisted the United star would be a perfect fit for Real as he stated that both clubs need to talk to each other about a transfer.
He told AS: “Everyone knows my brother would be great for Real Madrid and Zidane.
