Yes, HE wanted that. Perez and the board know their capabilities and with the new FFP rules this summer, such a deal would only ever be possible if they sold Bale and James.Before this summer they've basically spent nothing net on transfers in five or six years. They have the money, they always find the money. I don't see how you thinking they could put the money to better use makes any difference as to if they are more or less likely to spend it on Pogba.
Zidane went back there with a very strong negotiating stance and the only consistency coming out of Madrid since day one was he wanted both Pogba and Hazard.
One of those has been confirmed to stay, and the other is possibly the most toxic commodity on the market that no one, not even Ed Woodward, wants to touch.
