Man Utd set Paul Pogba price tag amid Real Madrid and Juventus interest
The Frenchman has been linked with a move away from Old Trafford ever since last summer and it appears United are willing to let him go for the right price
by Irishmirror.ieManchester United are reportedly prepared to sell Paul Pogba this summer, but will demand a fee of at least €100m (£83m) for the midfielder.
The 26-year-old has barely featured this season after struggling with injury, making just seven Premier League appearances, and his future has been the source of constant speculation after he admitted in the summer he would be interested in a "new challenge."
He has been most strongly linked with either a return to his previous club Juventus or to Spanish giants Real Madrid, but according to The Guardian United will not accept any offer under their asking price of £83m.
The fee would still represent a slight loss for United, who spent £89.3m on the Frenchman in 2016, but considering Pogba's injury record and the fact he is now three years older, it is believed both Juventus and Madrid see the price tag as too high.
His agent Mino Raiola this week added fuel to the flames of the speculation by admitting his client could be tempted with a return to Turin, where he played for Juventus between 2012-2016.
Speaking after Juventus drew 1-1 with AC Milan in the first leg of their Coppa Italia semi-final on Thursday, Raiola said: "Italy is like home for Paul. He would not mind going back to Juve but we will see what will happen after the Euros.
"Paul wants to play at the best level but he can’t escape by Manchester United if they are in a difficult situation."
Red Devils boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has always maintained that Pogba is part of his plans, although with the player set to enter the final year of his contract it seems likely he will leave this summer.
Pogba is still recovering from injury, but it is thought he could return to action in around two weeks time, potentially in time for the derby game against Manchester City on March 8.
