Zinedine Zidane has revealed Real Madrid want to sign Juventus midfielder Paul Pogba, labelling his countryman as a ‘fantastic player’.
Pogba, who was part of the Juventus side to knock Los Blancos out of the Champions League this season as they went all the way to the final, has long been linked with a switch to the Spanish capital.
Stories have suggested in the past the 10-time Champions League winners could be willing to pay up to 70 million euros for him. If reports are to be believed, Los Blancos face stiff competition from the likes of Barcelona, PSG and Manchester City for the attacking player.
But there can be no greater endorsement from one of the world’s greatest players when decided where you future lies.
Speaking to RTL, the 1998 World Cup winner said: “He has everything. 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.
“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.”
