Apparently there's a decent chance he'll go there this summer.
If it happens it may well be that one or two of their midfielders might be up for grabs. Kroos would be the obvious choice for any side as he's very very good but the likes of Modric, Isco, Kovacic or Casemiro might be for sale.
Which ones do people think will be available?
Pogba to Real

Seedorf was great for them.

So basically this idea that Real are racist is nonsense.

These quotes from Pogba's agent are important.
"He admires Zidane. He has always told me that. This is going to be very important in his decision.
"However, he needs to choose a project, not a coach, as coaches come and go. Pogba's interest is not in being the most expensive signing and neither is it mine.
"The aim is for him to join the best sporting project and win as many titles as possible. We are talking with three teams and Paul likes the sporting projects of some of those."

Pogba knows that Madrid aren't a stable club when it comes to managers.
I bet we are one of the three clubs he is talking about.
I have a feeling Jose finally wants to settle at a club and I think he's desperate to emulate Fergie.
He also loves England and the PL above all other leagues.
A long term project like we potentially might have at United can be attractive to Pogba.

Pogba is a top player,and it's a pity we lost him.
But I don't think he is quite good enough for the hype around him,which is not his fault.
I doubt he will ever be as good as Robbo. He won't get the goals for a start.

Dunno about that. He does score a decent amount of goals. Yesterday he was massively unlucky to end up without a goal.

How the feck are they 'talking with' three clubs? Unless Juve have accepted three offers or otherwise given permission (and why would they without offers on the table) that's tapping up surely?!
Fecking agents.

Tapping up, afaik and contrary to what some might imagine, is the norm rather than the exception.
Kung Fu, as for your post, I'm afraid it's just a load of unsubstantiated, wishful thinking.
"I have a feeling Jose finally wants to settle at a club and I think he's desperate to emulate Fergie."
Have you forgotten everything he said upon rejoining Chelsea? José's been around long enough to know how to make the right noises, but his track record says this is his 7th managerial stint and only one has lasted a full 3 seasons (and even then, the last 6 months were little more than a protracted departure).
"A long term project like we potentially might have at United can be attractive to Pogba"
Potentially, and there's certainly more hope in that happening than at Madrid...but it certainly hasn't been the case for the past 3 seasons and there's no evidence to suggest it's about to change in view of your current manager.
I doubt Raoila's become one of the world's top agents based on wishful thinking. More likely it's because he knows how to broker the best deals for his players.
I all likelihood he will be pushing Madrid with this 'unreliable project' angle as a way to get them to pay him and his player through the nose for their services.
Mentioning Pogba's admiration for Zidane could also be a nod to any other clubs who might be involved in the race to sign to push their offers up too.

Zidane is a smart guy he might be thinking about a Kroos-Pogba-Modric MF trio. A b2b player is the only profile they're missing would also allow Kroos to control from DM Pogba is defensively adept.
James Rodriguez will be the superstar that makes way this summer. Zizou appreciates Kroos a lot but if he doesn't have the final say then who knows Toni could go but City would be ahead of you.
Mourinho doesn't really acknowledge Kroos' type of player
