Real Madrid is unlikely to pursue a transfer for Paul Pogba.

Pogba has been the subject of transfer rumors in each of the past two summers with several teams from England as well as Barcelona linked.

"[Pogba] is a great player," Florentino Perez said. "I don't want to talk about him, but I will say that in midfield we have six great players."

Real Madrid has had difficulties playing all of their midfielders with Toni Kroos and Luka Modric nearly automatic starters, leaving Casemiro, Isco, James and Mateo Kovačić competing for time.
