Agent: Real Madrid rejected Pogba for knockdown €10M

The agent of Juventus star Paul Pogba says Real Madrid rejected the chance to sign the Frenchman for €10 million. Mino Raiola now rates his client in the €100 million class.

He told Marca: "Back when they had their chance, they didn't really know who Pogba was. Other clubs did.

"Real didn't want to pay €10 million for him and just a year ago refused to pay €30 million for him. We spoke in Qatar. 'Why pay €30 million if soon he can come for free?' they asked. He ended up renewing his contract. If they want Pogba, they can call me. I'm not going to call anyone there.

"He's worth more than €100 million, but the price will be set by the club that buys him. I'm in contact with all of them, except Real Madrid. My name is not Jorge Mendes, who manages Real Madrid far too well."
