Real Madrid may appoint Jose Mourinho while Barcelona could loan Neymar

Paul Pogba worries Real Madrid cannot afford him, who may soon appoint Jose Mourinho, while Barcelona could loan Neymar.

Pogba fears for Real transfer 

Manchester United midfielder Paul Pogba is concerned that Real Madrid will not be able to afford him in the summer transfer window. The Mirror reports that the 26-year-old French international is concerned that Real will not have the cash to complete a £150 million transfer, nor shell out the £104 million over the course of his contract. Mino Raiola also wants 10 percent of any fee. 

Bale impasse heightens Real tensions 

The Mail reports that the atmosphere at Real is building towards yet more problems. Zinedine Zidane wants Paul Pogba, but Florentino Perez spent hundreds of millions elsewhere before suddenly not being able to afford the one player that his new coach wants. The paper believes that with the Gareth Bale saga dragging on, Jose Mourinho is waiting in the wings should the relationship with Zidane blow up again. 

Barcelona consider Neymar loan 

Barcelona and Paris Saint-Germain are still working on a deal that would see Neymar return to Spain. Barca have yet to meet PSG’s asking price of £160 million for the 27-year-old Brazilian international, hamstrung by the £108 million spent on Antoine Griezmann. The Express reports that the two clubs are now discussing a loan deal that would give Barcelona the time to sell other players and complete enough sales to fund the deal at the loan’s end. 

Palace step up Cahill interest 

Crystal Palace are favourites to sign former Chelsea defender Gary Cahill, reports the Sun. The 33-year-old former England international is available on a free transfer this summer, and has been linked to Burnley and clubs abroad. However, Palace offer him the chance to remain in London, and will pay £75,000-a-week wages for two years.
