Raiola demands Real Madrid make Pogba highest paid

Manchester United midfielder Paul Pogba wants a massive pay-hike to leave Old Trafford this summer.

Tuttosport says Pogba will demand a huge wage of €16million (£13.65m) a year if Real Madrid or Juventus try to sign him from Manchester United in the summer.

Pogba's agent Mino Raiola has set his huge wage demands amid transfer rumours surrounding his star client.

Pogba is one of several names who has been heavily linked with joining Real Madrid when they launch a summer rebuild under returning boss Zinedine Zidane.

The United midfielder fuelled those rumours by admitting "Real Madrid is a dream for anyone" during a press conference last week whilst on international duty.

But it is understood Raiola will insist on the French World Cup winner becoming the highest paid player at the Bernabeu on a higher wage than Gareth Bale and Sergio Ramos, the current top earners on €14m and €11m per year respectively.
