Paul Pogba doesn't have interest in moving to Real Madrid where they "throw away" players, according to his agent Mino Raiola.

Real Madrid has been known to have interest in Pogba to improve their midfield.

Carlo Ancelotti is believed to be an admirer of Pogba, but he played down speculation.

Raiola told L'Equipe: "If that's the case, we're not interested in Real either. I have never gone to Madrid to tell them: 'Please, would you like to buy Pogba?'

"Real Madrid are a club that is used to buying players like you buy a facecloth -- and then throws them away like a facecloth."

The agent suggested that Madrid's big-money purchase of James Rodriguez from Monaco last summer was representative of their approach to transfers.

"Real are a team that sees a player who has six good games at the World Cup and buys him," he said.

"We don't want to go to a club like that. We want to go to a club that believes in Paul's potential. I am not closing the door to Real, but I'm not opening it either."

He said Ancelotti had "told me personally that, in his opinion, Paul is among the best young players in the world."
