Real may have to sell to buy

A Spanish football financial expert claims that Real Madrid will look to offload striker Alvaro Morata in order to sign Paul Pogba from Juventus. Pogba is one of Madrid's top transfer targets and some say the Frenchman would be a perfect fit at El Bernabeu. 

Real Madrid have just recently re-signed striker Morata from Juventus but are possibly looking to sell him for over £50m, with the Premier League being a likely destination. 

"My bet is that Real Madrid will sell Morata," he said. "And he would only go to the Premier League. This will be a transfer which is not less than 60m euros (£50m).

"He's tall and fast and that suits the English style very well, he would do very well here. He is like a much younger Zlatan Ibrahimovic."

It is understood that Real Madrid do not want to break Financial Fair Play rules by signing Pogba and selling Morata would help ease their worries. 

"This is just my guess but I think it will be a trading movement because they may finally go for Paul Pogba this summer and if they do that, they need to be aware of FFP. They need to sell big to buy big," Calzada added.
