⚡ The Unexpected Move
With the Galácticos 4.0 project already boasting the likes of Jude Bellingham, Vinícius Jr., and Kylian Mbappé, few expected Pogba’s name to enter the conversation. But according to insiders, Florentino Pérez sees Pogba as the final injection of experience and flair in midfield — someone who can guide younger stars while still delivering on the big stage.
> “Paul is a champion. He has won the World Cup, he has played at the very top, and he knows what it means to perform under pressure,” the Madrid official stated.
“When such a player becomes available, Real Madrid will always be there.”

💰 The Contract on the Table
Reports from France suggest that Pogba’s deal could be a short-term, high-impact contract — possibly two years with an optional extension — allowing Madrid to integrate him without disrupting their long-term midfield rebuild.
The offer, worth around €12 million annually, would place him among Madrid’s top earners, alongside Luka Modrić and Toni Kroos.
