Paul Pogba reportedly made up his mind to leave Manchester United for Real Madrid this summer.

According to The Mirror, the Frenchman is keen on sealing a move away from Old Trafford, with top sides Real Madrid and Juventus queuing up for his signature.

Additional report hinted that Juventus chief Fabio Paratici is expected into London to hold discussions over a deal for Pogba.

However, despite Juventus interest in re-signing the Frenchman, Pogba prefers a switch to the Bernabeu to play for childhood hero Zinedine Zidane.

The Real Madrid boss Zidane remains a huge fan of his compatriot as he continues to rebuild the Los Blancos squad this summer.

Spanish renowned sports daily, MARCA claim Man United are not ready to let go of the midfielder, but Zidane and Pogba have resolved to make the switch.

The France international have repeated his desire to sort out transfer issues before returning for pre-season.

French Ligue 1 giants PSG are reportedly monitoring Pogba’s situation and could table a surprise offer for him.

Pogba’s agent Mino Raiola is now free to be involved in football activity after an appeal to CAS.

But a final verdict is due at the start of next month.

That means Raiola may look to push through some transfers before then, with Pogba and Ajax defender Matthijs de Ligt his most valued assets.

Earlier, Legit.ng reported that newly signed Real Madrid superstar Eden Hazard has reportedly urged Paul Pogba to join him at the Santiago Bernabeu.

The Belgian star sealed a five year deal with Los Blancos valued at £130 million earlier this month, and was unveiled to the fans this week having undergone medicals.

During his seven year reign at Stamford Bridge, he won Europa Leagues, two Premier Leagues and other domestic titles.

He has however told embattled Manchester United midfielder Paul Pogba to join him at the Spanish capital this summer.
