PAUL POGBA wants out of Manchester United - but will only join Juventus or Real Madrid if they meet his massive wage demands.

Pogba wants to leave Manchester United this summer, with both Real Madrid and Juventus hellbent on securing the player’s signature.

The World Cup winner has decided that, after three years of failing to get anywhere near the Premier League and Champions League trophies, enough is enough.

Pogba opened the door to a move away from Manchester United last month, saying: “There is a lot of thinking [going on].

“I have been three years in Manchester and have been doing great – some good moments and some bad moments, like everybody, like everywhere else.

“After this season and everything that happened, with my season being my best season … it could be a good time to have a new challenge somewhere else.”

Yet the Daily Mail claim Pogba wants huge money from his next club, whoever they may be.

The report claims the United midfielder is unlikely to settle for anything less than a massive £500,000-a-week.

Such a salary would make him the highest-earner at Real Madrid - but not at Serie A giants Juventus.

Los Blancos misfit Gareth Bale is Real’s top-earner, taking home a big £350,000-a-week over at the Bernabeu.

And, at Juventus, Cristiano Ronaldo earns £510,000-a-week.

Both clubs, despite having plenty of money in the bank, may struggle to give Pogba the salary he craves.

And United are primed to demand a big fee to let their star asset go, with the France international valued at £150million.

Meanwhile, speaking earlier this week, Spanish football journalist Eduardo Inda claimed a deal that sees Pogba move to Real may be agreed next week.

"The Juventus thing is a trick of Raiola to raise the price,” he told Spanish TV station El Chiringuito.

"The only favorable thing for Pogba to go to Juventus is taxation.

“I think that next week, Pogba will be a new Real Madrid player.

"The issue is very advanced, Madrid offers 80 million euros in cash plus Bale, which they estimate is worth 90 euros.”

Pogba’s agent, Mino Raiola, has confirmed his client wants to leave. He said on Friday: “Everyone knows the willingness of Paul to move on. We are in the process of that. Everyone knows what the feelings of Paul are.

"Everyone within the club, from the manager to the owner, knows Paul's wishes."
