REAL MADRID have reportedly refused to rule out selling Isco and Marco Asensio as they look to raise funds to buy Manchester United ace Paul Pogba.
Real are interested in signing Pogba but know United demand a large fee for the Frenchman.
Reports have suggested Manchester United want at least £150million for Pogba, who has struggled at Old Trafford.
But Real Madrid have already splashed out this summer, signing the likes of Eden Hazard, Luka Jovic and Rodrygo.
They have spent over £200m as Zinedine Zidane looks to freshen up his squad after a difficult season.
And ESPN now claim that Real have refused to sell Asensio or Isco to fund the signing of Pogba or another marquee midfielder.
It’s reported that Los Blancos would be open to selling Isco if a club comes in with a big offer.
Borussia Dortmund have reportedly made an initial enquiry however Isco is not keen on the move.
The report adds that Isco wants to stay at the Bernabeu after tricky times under Santi Solari.
Real reportedly want to keep Asensio but, again, would let him go if a large offer is made.
It’s claimed that Asensio is being given a last chance to save himself after a poor season.
Pogba has admitted he wants a fresh challenge though is with Manchester United on their pre-season tour.
But Pogba’s agent Mino Raiola has admitted there could be movement yet.
"The end is not written," Raiola said.
"There is nothing closed yet. Stay in Manchester? I live my life day by day, we will see what happens.
“The end of this story is not written. Today we are here, tomorrow we do not know."
