Real Madrid are lining up a sensational £49.5m summer move for former Manchester United man Paul Pogba, reports Spanish newspaper El MundoDeportivo.
The 20-year-old has had a meteoric rise in the last two years since trading his bit-part role at Old Trafford for a prominent berth at Juventus, where he has established himself as one of the most admired central midfielders on the continent.
Juventus are keen to tie him down to a new long-term deal - despite the fact his current contract still has two years left to run - as Arsenal, United and Real Madrid have all shown an interest.
But Real Madrid president Florentino Perez, who presided over the first 'Galactico' era of the early 2000s and sanctioned a record-breaking deal to sign Gareth Bale in September, wants to make Pogba his next high-profile acquisition in the summer.
Madrid have developed a culture of flirting with top players from other clubs. Their excessive spending culture is killing competitiveness in the game.
