The three players that could speed up Pogba's signing

By now, it is a well known fact that Zinedine Zidane likes his fellow Frenchman Paul Pogba. Real Madrid are reportedly working to sign the French midfielder and, according to English sources, the Spaniards have several options in order to convince Manchester United. 

Pogba's starting price will be around 150 million euros, but considering Hazard's more than likely signing, Real Madrid would like to try and lower that number. 

The Madrid giants are hoping Gareth Bale will finally agree to leave the team and, as the Welshman still has a good reputation in Britain, they are confident that a barter with the British footballer could convince Manchester United.

The problem lies with the former Tottenham man's unwillingness to leave Chamartín. Althoughhe's had trouble adapting and he does not speak Spanish, the Welsh is happy in Madrid and has no desire to leave the Bernabeu.

If that option doesn't work, the club could also offer Manchester United two other players which have been in their wish list in the past. While Keylor Navas seems like an unnecessary signing if De Gea is there, it is also true that the Spaniard could end up in PSG, which wpuld mean United could be looking for another world class goalkeeper. 

Finally, James regained his best feelings at Bayern Munich, a club that has stated they will not be signing the player.The 'cafetero' never really clicked with Zidane, which means Real Madrid is looking to sell him. 

Although for the first time the Old Trafford team has been open to the idea of getting rid of Pogba, it seems that a hypothetical negotiation is still a long way off. Especially as Manchester United would prefer to receive a large sum for the Frenchman.
