"Real Madrid would be a good choice"

And Sambou Tati, who is president of Roissy-en-Brie, where the player spent seven years after joining at the age of six, told AS: "As a Madrid fan, I'd advise him to sign [for the club]."

"I've read that [Real boss Zinedine] Zidane likes him a lot," he added of Pogba, who is currently representing France at Euro 2016. "That's the most important thing. If the coach wants him, everything's easier."

He concluded: "For me, Real Madrid would be a good choice."
