Insider: Real Madrid cannot afford to buy Man Utd star Pogba

Real Madrid have no immediate plans of moving for Manchester United midfielder Paul Pogba.

That's the claim of Spanish expert Guillem Balague.

"It is normal that when things are not perfect with the superstar of a big club, stories emerge in the media," Balague told Sky Sports.

"Regarding Pogba, a leak to French publication L'Equipe suggested he wants a different position on the pitch to improve his performances.

"When reports like that emerge, don't be surprised that reports claiming Real Madrid want him soon follow.

"But they don't, they do not have the money to finance such a deal after they buy their main targets this summer. Perhaps more importantly, Real president Florentino Perez does not view him as a target."
