Cost of Pogba signing goes through the roof
The potential signing of Paul Pogba will not come easy to Real Madrid, who now know the total cost of the deal would be 315 million euros.
According to 'The Party of 12' on COPE, Florentino Perez has been in a state of shock regarding the financial demands of Juventus, the player and his agent, Mino Raiola.
The Bianconeri hierarchy are unwilling to give any kind of leeway and have stamped a 140 million euros price tag on the former Manchester United midfielder.
Unwilling to spend over 100 million, Real face an uphill battle if negotiations are to progress.
Juve hope that they can barter with the Blancos and see Alvaro Morata and Mateo Kovacic come the other way if a deal is to be reached.
The other problem for Real is that Pogba's wage demands are 15 million euros net per season, that's more than Gareth Bale (11 million) and three million less than Cristiano Ronaldo (18 million).
If the Merengues are to push through a deal, they'll already have to put aside 150 million just to cover the 23-year-old's salary on a five-year contract.
