Paul Pogba is a big Zidane fan and himself has admitted that playing under his idol at Real Madrid would be a ‘dream’. The 27-year-old was heavily linked with the Spanish side last year as well and came close to joining them but an agreement couldn’t be made between the two parties. It is also reported that the 13-time European champions are also interested in Rennes starlet Eduardo Camavinga.
Injury has curtailed Pogba’s season so far as the Frenchman has managed just two appearances since September. The midfielder returned to action on Boxing Day but once again injured his ankle, which required surgery in the New Year. It was reported that the 27-year-old was back in training and close to a comeback before football was shut down due to the coronavirus pandemic.
