Calderon has revealed that Pogba would be a valuable addition to Real, but he declared that he isn't a fan of Paris Saint-Germain winger Neymar's attitude.
He told Sky Sports: "Neymar is a top player but I don’t see him - his behaviour in the last games he has played – as being the best reference for coming to Real Madrid.
"Pogba? Maybe. He is one of the players that Zidane has said he really likes.
"It would be a problem of money. Our president has decided to invest a ridiculous amount of money in the new stadium because we already have a fantastic stadium.”
Gareth Bale has been linked with a move away from Spain at the end of the season, with 91 per cent of five million voters wanting him to leave Real.
And Calderon has stated he believes a loan move back to an English club would be beneficial for all parties.
He said: "It's a pity what is happening with Bale," he said. "The injuries have affected him a lot.
