Real Madrid desperate to include one player in deal for Manchester United star Paul Pogba

Real Madrid are eager to include Gareth Bale in a potential deal for their No 1 target Paul Pogba, according to Marca. United are reluctant to sell and Madrid are planning to propose a player-plus-cash offer with former United target Bale a player the club are hoping to use to try and sweeten a deal. Red Devils were linked earlier in the summer with a move for Bale but recently have distanced themselves from signing the player. Zidane has told the Welshman he does not feature in his plans for next season but the forward's future remains unclear with no suitable suitors as things stand. It has been reported in June, that Pogba has agreed to join Juventus and wants to move to Turin. United players were back at Carrington for their first day of pre-season training and Pogba was a notable absentee. He was in America over the weekend, sharing footage of him training privately with a coach in the gym than at the New York Red Bull stadium.
