Paul Pogba is in talks over a potential move to Real Madrid but discussions are stalling as the Frenchman's agent demands more money, according to reports.
Reputed Sky Italia, Gianluca Di Marzio, claims Mino Raiola met with Los Blancos director Jose Angel Sanchez in Monaco to negotiate a potential deal.
Real Madrid are reported to have started negotiations by offering £135,000-a-week.
But Raiola — who also represents Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Mario Balotelli — wants nearer £200,000 for the in-demand 23-year-old.
The Spanish giants' president, Florentino Perez, likes to bring in at least one 'Galactico' every season, and appears set of making Pogba this summer's major piece of business.
