Pogba, who was allowed to leave Man United on a free transfer back in the summer of 2012, has emerged as one of the finest midfielders on the planet while in Turin, and at the age of 23 is tipped to improve further.
Although the Red Devils have the cash to fund a sensational swoop, Balague has told Sky Sports that Real are keen to snap him up and that they may well sell Morata, whom they only recently re-signed from Juventus, to fund a transfer:
“Morata will return to training with Real Madrid, that is the only fact in this story,
“Morata has asked Real Madrid for his wages to reflect those he got at Juventus and Real and doubting whether that is the best option.
“Real are willing to spend around €100m (£85.1m) to bring Pogba to the club but they need to get that money from somewhere, meaning they are open to the possibility of selling Morata.”
Balague went on to claim that Morata is wanted by both Arsenal and Chelsea and is available for around €75m (£64.13m):
“Real have put a €75m price-tag on Morata, which I think is a little bit too much for certain clubs,
“What’s clear, however, is both Chelsea and Arsenal are interested in the player.
“This is another transfer that will go in the ‘we will have to wait and see’ pile as it depends on many factors. If he has to leave, Morata would like to go to the Premier League.”
Chelsea have been heavily aligned with Morata, with Antonio Conte thought to see him as a ‘dream’ partner for Diego Costa, while Arsenal are reportedly willing to offer him a massive salary to relocate to north London.
