The Real Madrid-Paul Pogba saga is set to be a long one. The Blancos have been touted to make a move for the player ever since Zinedine Zidane came back to Real Madrid.

However, the financial aspect of the deal has been a stumbling block for the Merengues, if reports are to be believed. The Galacticos don’t want to pay anything over €150 million for the midfielder.

They are reportedly willing to offer €120 million for him while also asking the Frenchman to pressurize United into selling him.

Another problem is his high wages with Manchester United which is something that the Merengues are not willing to match as it would disrupt their wage structure.

As a result, Zidane has asked Pogba to lower his wage demands and Pogba is willing to do it because he wants to play for Real Madrid.
