Man Utd is ready to sell Pogba for £ 130 million – More on Milinkovic-Savic, Bruno Fernandes & Lemina

Exclusive – Manchester United is willing to discuss the sale of Paul Pogba in case he receives an offer ranging from 120 to 130 million pounds this summer.

Pogba has openly admitted since the end of last season that he wanted to meet a new challenge, while his agent, Mino Raiola, has been addressing the press twice during the past week in order to force United to sell. Its former club, Juventus, retains an interest, but Real Madrid is the most realistic destination of the French.

Pogba confirmed his desire to work with Zinedine Zidane earlier this year, while Zidane has been clear all summer with Real President Florentino Perez that Pogba was his favored target. 90min understands that Zidane even gave Pogba precedence over Chelsea's Eden Hazard signature, but the agreement was so close to the finish line that he sanctioned its completion.

Despite the fact that Real has spent more than 300 million euros of new players up to now in this window, Zidane remains determined to sign Pogba before the start of the new campaign. They go try to unload a number of players – the likes of Gareth Bale, James Rodriguez and Isco are repeatedly linked to departures – to balance the accounts.

United's public position on Pogba so far is that it's not for sale, while manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer revealed at a press conference on Wednesday that the club was Under no pressure to sell. The desire to keep Pogba – despite its initial ambition – comes from the makers above Solskjaer, who see the importance of Pogba's commercial value, although the Norwegian is happy in private to unload the player and to go from the front.

No matter if Pogba has to leave, United needs new environments. They have already lost Ander Herrera and Marouane Fellaini in 2019 and are watching many players to fill these positions. They are in pole position to sign Mario Lemina of Southampton at the price of £ 18m. They held talks this week. United will be able to close the pace relatively quickly given the player's willingness to leave and Southampton's selling position.

Although some club noises suggested that their interest in Lemina was exaggerated to raise his price.

The links to Sean Longstaff remain and United's interest exists, but Newcastle remains adamant that they do not want to sell the 21-year-old. According to Sky Sports, they are "absolutely not interested" in an agreement, and that could even take up to £ 50 million for them to consider. Solskjaer also said this week that United "should not pay too much" for players, and a source close to the transfer questioned its completion.

It's not confirmed that Lemina is considered an alternative to Longstaff, but United will still need more of a new midfielder for the new season.

Sergej Milinkovic-Savic is the last name badociated with a removal at Old Trafford. The Serbian midfielder has been on the United target list for more than a year, but Sky Italy hinted Thursday that the club was ready to offer the player 72 million pounds. Lazio is worth £ 90 million and, although he is ready to act, he is not ready to force it.

90minAccording to the understanding of the situation, United is interested, but would be reluctant to respond to requests from Lazio. It remains to be seen whether it is possible to find a common ground, but Milinkovic-Savic is not the last player that interests them, as Bruno Fernandes of Sporting CP also remains on the radar.

Fernandes is one of the hottest properties in Europe. He scored 32 goals and made 18 badists in all competitions with Sporting last season.Many clubs have been credited with interest for 24 years during the summer – Liverpool and Tottenham among them.

90min has been informed this United are confident of being able to reach a smooth agreement in the weeks leading up to the start of the new Premier League season if they decide to go ahead. They remain relaxed in the face of the situation, convinced that The interest of the Portuguese for their national rivals is not important enough for us to worry.

The Spurs are on the central midfield market, but have other targets – names such as Dani Ceballos and Giovani Lo Celso are often mentioned – while Liverpool has money to spend but will only business only for the right player at the right price. In the current state of affairs, Liverpool's most pressing concerns are the secondary goalkeeper and the second choice.

United could end the window with two new midfielders (three would remain tied even though Pogba was going at the same time). Pogba may be ready to change things to force his departure. The prospect of a strike of it can not be ruled out, but Real should move in the coming weeks and possibly be the subject of a transfer.

One of the moves that seems more secure on the coming front is Harry Maguire's signature, Leicester looking to sell the player before the end of next week.
