Manchester United's former manager, Jose Mourinho, has been accused of sabotaging Paul Pogba's dream move to Real Madrid. The French midfielder had been linked with a move to the Spanish giants, but the deal has been stalled due to Mourinho's alleged interference.
According to Eurosport, a journalist from El Pais, Diego Torres, revealed that Pogba's agent had been in talks with Real Madrid, but Mourinho's opposition to the deal had caused a rift between the two parties.
Real Madrid's president, Florentino Perez, had been keen on signing Pogba, but Mourinho's influence had made it difficult for the deal to go through. Perez had even offered to pay Manchester United a record-breaking £150 million for Pogba's transfer, but Mourinho's opposition had scuppered the deal.
Mourinho's alleged sabotage of Pogba's move to Real Madrid has raised eyebrows in the football world. The Portuguese manager has been accused of having a personal vendetta against Pogba, who had been a key player under his management at Manchester United.
Real Madrid's coach, Zinedine Zidane, had been a strong admirer of Pogba and had even expressed his desire to sign the midfielder. However, Mourinho's opposition had made it difficult for the deal to go through.
As the transfer window draws to a close, it remains to be seen whether Pogba will finally make the move to Real Madrid. One thing is certain, however, Jose Mourinho's alleged sabotage of the deal has caused a stir in the football world.
