Real Madrid Target Paul Pogba as Potential Khedira Replacement
As speculation continues over Sami Khedira’s likely departure from Real Madrid — with Bayern Munich touted as his next destination — the Spanish giants are already planning for the future. According to La Cadena Ser, Paul Pogba of Juventus has emerged as their top transfer target to fill the potential gap in midfield.
The 21-year-old French international, under contract with Juventus until 2019, is reportedly highly recommended by Zinedine Zidane, who remains influential within the Madrid setup. Pogba has grown into one of the most promising young midfielders in Europe since leaving Manchester United and joining Juventus in 2012.
Real Madrid’s interest highlights their intent to maintain a world-class midfield, with Pogba seen as a long-term investment capable of complementing the likes of Luka Modrić and Toni Kroos. While Juventus would be reluctant to part ways with one of their star players, a substantial offer from Madrid could test their resolve.
Though Bayern Munich’s sporting director has denied signing Khedira, his departure from the Spanish capital still appears likely — making Pogba’s potential move one of the most anticipated transfer stories to watch.
