The Spanish team is now the only one pushing to sign for Pogba after Juventus left the bid, will have to deal with the continued rise in price by the 'red devils', who have now set Paul Pogba's exit at a whopping 200 million euros.
Teams had already been warned that his signing would be complicated and long to negotiate due to the fact that Manchester United refuse to sell their big star. Despite the statements of the player himself and his agent, in which it was clear that Pogba wants to leave the club, the board is still determined to retain him.
So much so that, according to the 'Mirror', the club has increased its price again, making it go from 180 to 200 million euros ... and the 'culprit' is none other than Mino Raiola.
The Italian agent said publicly that Manchester United already knows "what Pogba has wanted for a long time". His words, which were front cover news in England and Spain, did not go down well with the English club's board, giving way to a new chapter in the war and provoking the response from the club itself.
Right now, Pogba and his agent are pulling on one side of the rope, and United are on the other. It is clear that they must come to an understanding and that the player could win this battle, as he could always ask for a transfer request, but the question is whether Real Madrid will invest in the player after the spike in price. While Pogba is away with Manchester United and playing in the pre-season, Madrid is still waiting for a few of their own players to leave so they can afford the transfer. The desire is that the tension increases, the player continues asking to leave and his club, at last, opens the doors to negotiation.
