Real Madrid seek six player sale to fund Pogba bid

Real Madrid are ready to sell six more stars to help fund their move for Manchester United midfielder Paul Pogba.

The Mirror says United are reportedly demanding close to £200m if they are to let the 26-year-old go, and Madrid are aware they will have to move some players on if they are to be able to afford the move.

They have already sold Marcos Llorente, Theo Hernandez, Raul de Tomas and Mateo Kovacic so far this summer, and a number of other high-profile names also look set to be shown the exit door at the Bernabeu.

Gareth Bale and Isco are the two biggest stars who make up the transfer list.

Colombian forward James Rodriguez, who has been out on loan at Bayern Munich, is also set to leave having failed to live up to expectations following his move to Madrid after World Cup 2014.

The 27-year-old should seal a transfer to Napoli in the coming days to reunite with Carlo Ancelotti, who he played under at Munich.

And goalkeeper Keylos Navas, midfielder Lucas Vazquez and forward Mariano Diaz complete the transfer list as Madrid prepare for a move for Pogba in what could be the biggest deal of this summer's window.
