INTER MILAN are willing to enter the race for Paul Pogba, according to reports.
The Frenchman has been heavily linked with a summer departure from Manchester United, with a number of top European clubs having shown an interest.
Real Madrid are believed to be the main contenders, with Barcelona and former club Juventus also monitoring the situation.
According to Gazzetta dello Sport, however, Antonio Conte wants to strengthen his midfield further.
The Italian was able to prise Christian Eriksen away from Tottenham Hotspur in a protracted £17million January deal after months of speculation.
But the fiery Italian isn’t willing to stop there.
Backed these days by Chinese billionaires at the Suning Group, Inter are expected to have the funds to stump up a transfer fee of around £100million for Pogba, 27.
However, the Red Devils’ No6 may have to take a pay cut if he is to seal the transfer.
Pogba is represented by Mino Raiola, who engineered a similar move from Old Trafford to the San Siro for another of his clients Romelu Lukaku last summer.
Real Madrid are also desperate to sign Pogba after years of interest, but are believed to only be willing to pay around £70million for him.
The World Cup winner is only contracted at United until 2021, although the club do possess the option to trigger another year.
It’s set to be a busy summer at Inter Milan, with the Italians also eager to sign Timo Werner from RB Leipzig to replace the seemingly outgoing Lautaro Martinez.
Their Argentine striker has been in superb form this season, and has become one of Barcelona’s priority targets.
And the allure of turning out alongside compatriot Lionel Messi at club level seems to strong to ignore for Martinez, 22.
