Last summer, Paul Pogba, who left Turin's "Juventus" for "Manchester United," revealed that during the same summer he could have joined one of the Spanish giants, but his heart chose the "red devils." However, French journalist Frederic Hermel, who has worked for "L'Equipe" and "France Football" publications, has a different opinion. According to him, Madrid's "Real" and "Barcelona" never tried to acquire the Frenchman. Spanish clubs only watched the midfielder but did not make any offers. "I laughed when I heard that Pogba rejected offers from 'Barcelona' and 'Real'," the journalist said. "Both clubs watched Paul, but they were not willing to take any serious steps." "Pogba never had the chance to join the 'Real' team. This is because of his agent Mino Raiola, whom 'White' president Florentino Perez does not want to deal with. A young footballer with such a high salary would be a big problem even for 'Real' itself. For the same reason, 'Barcelona' also did not show serious interest," F. Hermel concluded. It is worth mentioning that P. Pogba cost "Man Utd" a record 105 million euros.
