France's legendary centre-back Maarcel Desailly, formerly of Chelsea and AC Milan, believes that La Liga giants Real Madrid would be the perfect club for Juventus' midfield star Paul Pogba, who has been linked with numerous European clubs recently.
The former Manchester United midfielder, who left in 2012, has become one of Europe's most sought-after players during his three-year tenure in Turin, with Real, Barcelona, Manchester City and a whole host of other European clubs all linked with his signature. The 46-year-old believes if Pogba does decide to leave Juve, a move to City would signal he's only after more money, whilst joining those at the Bernabéu would show that he's driven by the desire to become the best player he can possibly be.
Desailly said: "I think either he stays, because he has three more years with Juventus, they're in the final of the Champions League, they won Serie A. Why would he want to move from there? Unless a crazy club comes in and puts big money on. City, I think, would be just for the money. Real Madrid would be for the prestige. Madrid is probably the best club for him, where the philosophy of the game is to play forward. If they play three in midfield - Isco, Toni Kroos and even Luka Modric - if he comes, Madrid could be tactically the best team for him to express himself. He would be an amazing player.
"The only problem he would have is, he likes to go forward, but on the left side you have Cristiano Ronaldo. If the new coach of Madrid comes and Gareth Bale plays on the left and you have Cristiano up-front, then you have a bit of a problem on that side where he likes to express himself most of the time. But if he leaves Juventus, Madrid is the best club for him. If you leave Juve - I know Serie A is not the best league but it is a prestigious club - he needs to go to Real Madrid."
