Real Madrid coach Zidane urging Florentino to rethink Pogba stand

Real Madrid coach Zinedine Zidane remains determined to bring Manchester United midfielder Paul Pogba to Spain.

Marca says Pogba is at loggerheads with his Real Madrid board as he pushes on with his bid to land £180million midfielder Pogba.

The Los Blancos boss spoke to his compatriot Pogba when they were both on holiday in Dubai in October and is desperate to complete the transfer next month.

The problem he has is that Real chief Florentino Perez would rather get Spurs star Christian Eriksen on the cheap in January.

Tottenham could take as little as £30m for the talisman, who has seven months left on his contract.

The Real board remain unconvinced over Pogba, believing he is not the right man to take the club forward.

There are concerns over his expected wages of £13.6m a season, as well as doubts over whether he can fit in.
