Pogba, Haaland and the ‘great players’ Mino Raiola could take to Real Madrid this summer

Football in Europe is faced with an uncertain future at the moment, but amid the enforced break in action due to Covid-19, clubs continue to plan for next season.
And with the second stage of a rebuilding project likely to take place in the summer, Real Madrid are one of the sides likely to be busy in the transfer market.
“I definitely want to take a great player to Real Madrid, and I will try to do so this summer,” he said in an interview with Marca this week. “It would be a source of pride for me and my players because Real Madrid are a great club.”
Here, Standard Sport takes a look at the Raiola clients who could be in contention for a move to Madrid in the summer…
The Manchester United midfielder is a long-time target for Real Madrid and coach Zinedine Zidane and the World Cup winner is likely to be back on Los Blancos’ radar again this summer.
Madrid’s main priority last summer was to bring in a new midfielder, but no player arrived in the end and with Pogba still seemingly unsettled at United, this could be the time to make a move.
The former Juventus player is 27 years old and has not hidden his admiration for Zidane or Madrid in the past. And with Bruno Fernandes already a success at Old Trafford, a transfer could potentially suit all parties.
United would want in excess of €100 million for Pogba, but Madrid might see that as a sound investment with Luka Modric set to turn 35 in September.
When the young Norwegian left RB Salzburg to join Borussia Dortmund in January, it looked like the ideal move for the striker to continue his development.
But the 19-year-old has already shown he is the real deal, scoring 12 goals in his first eight appearances for the Bundesliga side.
