Raiola slams Real Madrid antics over Pogba negotiations: Barcelona could be option

Super agent Mino Raiola admits Real Madrid have fluffed their attempts to sign Juventus midfielder Paul Pogba.

Raiola revealed Real and Barcelona are keen on the Frenchman.

"Real wanted him 18 months ago, but I didn't like the attitude Madrid had with me. Juve asked for about €50m and Real told me it was a ridiculous sum. Even Carlo Ancelotti told me that and he adores Pogba. I don't have to sell him, though. Barcelona could be an option and we'll see if the Catalans complain too...

"I advised Paul to only leave Juve if he finds a club that desperately wants him. Right now it's easier to remain in Turin than to leave. Juve are the side with the advantage."
