Paul Pogba signs for Real Madrid... on Wikipedia

For a brief period on Wednesday, the Juve midfielder was listed as part of Zinedine Zidane's Real squad on the online encyclopaedia.

Juventus star Paul Pogba is one of Europe's hottest properties, and has been linked with a host of major sides across the continent as speculation mounts over a potential summer move.

And for a couple of hours on Wednesday evening, it appeared that the Frenchman had traded Turin for the Spanish capital - according to Wikipedia, at least.

"His current team is Real Madrid C.F."

From shortly before 18:00 to around 20:00 CEST, Pogba's opening description on the Spanish version of the collaborative online encyclopaedia read: "He plays as a midfielder and his current team is Real Madrid C.F. of the Spanish First Division".

Real boss Zinedine Zidane, a fervent admirer of the former Manchester United player, is understood to be keen to bring the 23-year-old to the Santiago Bernabéu during the close season.

However, neither Madrid nor Juve have announced a transfer involving Pogba - who is part of France's Euro 2016 squad - and such a deal is currently believed to remain some way from becoming a reality.
