‘Real Madrid would need Pogba more than Neymar’

Ever since Santiago Solari was sacked and Zinedine Zidane returned to Real Madrid, it was clear that the still reigning champions of Europe would be in for a huge summer. Many deals are still expected to happen, as Zidane was reportedly promised backing in the transfer market. Eden Hazard is expected to arrive, Luka Jovic was mentioned as a done deal, but former club president Ramon Calderon spoke to media about possibilities of signing Neymar and Paul Pogba.

“Neymar is a top player but I don’t see him – his behaviour in the last games he has played – as being the best reference for coming to Real Madrid. Pogba? Maybe. He is one of the players that [Zinedine] Zidane has said he really likes.

“It would be a problem of money. Our president has decided to invest a ridiculous amount of money in the new stadium because we already have a fantastic stadium”, Calderon said.
