Manchester United have been urged to pursue a deal for Leicester City ace, James Maddison as a potential replacement for Paul Pogba.
The French midfielder whose second stint at the Old Trafford has been marred by inconsistent performances is being heavily linked with a move back to Juventus. Real Madrid also have a significant interest in the 26-year-old with Pogba recently claiming that a move to the Santiago Bernabeu is “a dream for anyone”.
Respected journalist, Ducan Castles said on the Transfer Window podcast, “I think if Manchester United can get a deal in place for James Maddison, that would be a very good way for them to go forward.
“He had a very good first season in the Premier League, he’s English which is a huge attraction to any Premier League team, he could add that creativity in midfield and I think importantly he could be the player to replace a lot of the creativity they’ll lose if Real Madrid get their way and sign Paul Pogba this summer.
“What I can tell you is that Madrid are confident that they can get a deal in place for Pogba. They had a transfer meeting last week to firm up their proposed squad for next season and the conclusion was Hazard will be part of that squad, they’re sure they have that deal in place and he should be coming.
“The next important high-profile signing is to be Paul Pogba. They think, and I quote, it is really possible they’ll get the player. They’re doing that on the basis that Pogba wants to get out, he’s stated that himself.”
