It feels like Manchester United midfielder Paul Pogba has been linked with Real Madrid forever now. His agent Mino Raiola continues to talk up a move to Real Madrid but the Frenchman looks to have settled down well in Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's set-up at Manchester United.

Pogba has also publicly flirted with Real Madrid numerous times, even calling it a 'dream move'. In October 2020, he admitted that every footballer would like to play for Real Madrid and that it is his dream to represent Los Blancos.

"All football players would love to play for Real Madrid. It is a dream for me, why not one day?

Just a few days ago, his agent Mino Raiola once again refused to rule out a move to Real Madrid for his client. He told AS:

“I do not know. I think that nothing is impossible, but football depends on the day. As it is. And you have to be flexible to think of all the possibilities. And if tomorrow Madrid wants to make a Hazard-Pogba change? It is just an example."

#2 Erling Haaland (Borussia Dortmund)

Erling Haaland is the most sought-after out-and-out striker in the world right now. At 20 years of age, Haaland has shown astounding skills and is one of the most natural strikers the game has seen in a long time.

Haaland's representatives have already met with Real Madrid and Barcelona. However, Borussia Dortmund are keen to keep him beyond the end of the season. But it's interesting to note that while Haaland will cost around €150 million any side that wants to sign him, he will be available for much cheaper next season.

There is a €70 million release clause in Haaland's contract which will kick in next summer and it is advisable for both Barcelona and Real Madrid to make a move next summer as both sides have been struggling financially in the wake of the Covid-19 pandemic.

One thing is for certain and it is that there will be fierce competition between Barcelona and Real Madrid to sign the Norwegian striker.

#1 Kylian Mbappe (Paris Saint-Germain)

The crown prince of football, Kylian Mbappe, is likely to move from Paris Saint-Germain in the near future. Mbappe is only 22-years-old but has already accomplished so much and it just feels like it is time for him to move to a club that has a following all around the world.

Mbappe has been tearing it up for Paris Saint-Germain and he is tipped to join Real Madrid in the near future. According to Diario AS, Mbappe is now inching closer towards securing a move to Real Madrid.

Kylian Mbappe's current deal expires in 2022 and talks over a new deal have reached an impasse. It makes sense for Paris Saint-Germain to cash in on him this summer, as it is their last opportunity to recoup a good chunk of the €180 million they paid to sign him from AS Monaco.
