According to Sky Sport Italia, Paul Pogba has agreed terms with Real Madrid in a deal .

Paul Pogba angered fans and management alike when he decided to leave Manchester United for Juventus on a free transfer in the summer of 2012. His contract had expired and he decided to join the club where his childhood hero- Zinedine Zidane- once played.

Four years after he left Old Trafford and four Serie A titles later, the Frenchman may be looking for a new challenge. According to a report from Sky Sport Italia, the 23-year-old could be set to join his aforementioned hero at Real Madrid. The report suggests Pogba has agreed to a five year deal worth €40 million with Los Blancos.

Several days ago, reports broke that the midfielder’s agent Mino Raiola met with Real Madrid president Florentino Perez to discuss terms. However, the Spanish giants will still need to negotiate a transfer fee with Juventus who are not willing to let the star go cheap.

The Italian champions are believed to be looking for a fee of excess of over $120 million, which the Madrid side may not be willing to pay. Although, Juventus are said to be interested in both Alvaro Morata and Mateo Kovacic which could help bring the fee down.
