Real Madrid president Florentino Perez is ready to reignite plans to sign Manchester United midfielder Paul Pogba.

Pogba's deal is running down and due to expire in June.

AS says Pogba has returned to Madrid's radar 'with force' and they have been sounding out the France midfielder's situation for several weeks.

The report adds that Pogba's potential arrival in the Spanish capital would help further convince his France compatriot Kylian Mbappe to leave Paris Saint-Germain for Madrid next summer as well.

The midfielder's arrival, if it were to happen for free, would mean Madrid can accommodate his wages with a similar £12.8m annual deal to what was used to sign defender David Alaba after his contract ran out at Bayern Munich.
