Paul Pogba looks set to be glued to the top of the gossip and transfer columns all summer long, with rumours that he would be willing to move to secure either better financial terms or a better shot at winning the Champions League.
Real Madrid are one of the teams linked with the France international, with "?La Gazzetta dello Sport reporting that the Champions League holders could be set to use negotiations over the future of Alvaro Morata to float the idea of a world-record move for Pogba.

Juventus director Giuseppe Marotta is expected to visit Madrid next week to discuss the buy-back clause in Morata's contract, which Real are rumoured to be considering triggering in order to bring Morata back to the Bernabeu on the cheap - before selling him on immediately at a profit.
However, the details of a move for Pogba could dominate proceedings - with a massive €120m (~£94m) bid reportedly being mooted by the 11-times Champions League winners as they look to become the first team to defend the European title since Milan in 1990.
When Real manager Zinedine Zidane was asked about a potential move for his countryman earlier this month, he replied: He is a great player, every team would want to have him. But he is a Juventus player and we have to respect that."

It's reported that Real could be set to offer Pogba wages of up to €10m per season to join the likes of Cristiano Ronaldo and Gareth Bale at the very top of the European game - with Juventus' exit at the last 16 stage of the Champions League last season raising doubts about their ability to challenge at the highest level.
