There is nothing more changeable than the football market. Often times, what seems to go one way ends up going another. In the case of Madrid, it happened recently with Ajax midfielder Van de Beck. The contracts that would take him to the white club were drawn up and only to be signed… And he ended up at United. That's why you have to be attentive to Pogba's situation. Although his signing was ruled out by Madrid in recent times, the French media represented by Raiola does not lose hope of wearing white. Hence his recent words (“It would be a dream”). And it will exhaust your possibilities.
The events, the bad moment of his team (15 in the Premier table is United), and the fact that he has only one year of contract left next summer, causes Pogba's price to fall. “It has reached an agreement to leave for 60 million in 2021”, reveals Calciomercato. On the contrary, Camavinga's is very much on the rise and there is a real bid from the main teams in Europe for him (PSG and Juventus, the main stakeholders together with Madrid). Pogba, 27, still has the best of his career ahead of him. Camavinga, at 17, is anyone's guess. That of United is a reality and that of Rennes a project. Y, With that panorama and adding the fact that Zidane clearly prefers Pogba, his great dream since 2016, it can be deduced that, at least, Pogba interferes in the white plan for Camavinga.
Madrid politics looks more at the signing of young values. But even that is relative. On the other hand, there is a factor very in favor of Pogba that Florentino usually takes into account. The economic return of the operation. Although Pogba's claim will be, at least, for Madrid to equal the 15 million euros net that he charges at United, he is one of the few players in the current market that has become an advertising icon in Asia and the US. If he charges 15 million, Pogba would pay himself at least half his salary, since Madrid usually share 50% of the image rights with their stars.
An advertising reef.
Pogba is, according to the latest ranking prepared by Forbes magazine (2019), the fourth footballer on the planet that earns the most money for advertising after Cristiano, Messi and Neymar. Of course, even at a great distance. The first in total earnings is Messi (€ 127m gross, 92m in salary and 35m in advertising). They followed Christian (58 + 40) and Neymar (67 + 27). It was the first time that the ranking was led by footballers. They were followed by other illustrious names such as the boxer Canelo Alvarez (85 million in total), Federer (84), American football players Rodgers and Wilson (both 80) and those of the NBA LeBron (80), Curry (72) or Kevin Durant (39). You had to go to the position 44 to find the next footballer on the list Forbes of athletes with more income. And it's Pogba!
Pogba entered, in 2019, 33 million, four of them for advertising. However, the estimate of Madrid when he raised his signing a few years ago is that, being in the white team, he would earn double in advertising. Pogba is still a diamond in the rough at 27 years old. Banner along with Mbappé of the world champion team, signed in 2016 a contract with Adidas for ten years and a value of 40 million euros. He is not committed to any other brand, he has only done sporadic collaborations. In that, it fits into Florentino Pérez's strategy …
