Manchester United's Paul Pogba has been linked with a move away from Old Trafford for some time, and the 26-year-old has now reportedly reaffirmed his desire to leave the club.
According to French publication L'Equipe, Pogba still sees Real Madrid as his dream destination and is determined to force through a transfer to the Spanish giants at the end of the season.
Published on December 6, 2019, L'Equipe reported that Pogba's position may be helped by the fact that his contract with Manchester United is due to expire in 2021, with the Red Devils running the risk of the World Cup winner leaving on a free transfer in two years.
Real Madrid allegedly want to sign Pogba before Euro 2020 as they are worried that an injury to the player at the tournament could lead to a breakdown in negotiations.
Manchester United boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer expressed hope that Pogba would return to the pitch before the end of the year, saying: "As soon as possible, as quickly as possible. He's out on the grass training. I said in 2019 so hopefully, we'll see him before the New Year."
