Real Madrid to offer £52m plus Gareth Bale for Paul Pogba?

Real Madrid are reportedly preparing to offer £52m plus Gareth Bale for Manchester United midfielder Paul Pogba in this summer's transfer window.

Pogba continues to be linked with a move away from United, while Bale's future at the Bernabeu is far from secure following a disappointing 2018-19 campaign.

United are believed to value Pogba around the £130m mark, but according to reports in Spain, Los Blancos are preparing to offer Bale plus £52m in cash in order to land the 2018 World Cup winner.

Pogba has scored 16 times in 41 appearances for United this season, in addition to providing 11 assists.

Bale, meanwhile, has only managed eight goals in La Liga during the 2018-19 campaign and the 29-year-old is said to be the subject of interest from United, Tottenham Hotspur and Bayern Munich.

That said, the Welshman's agent, Jonathan Barnett, has again recently played down suggestions that his client could leave the Spanish capital this summer.
