Paul Pogba's Manchester United u-turn is unlikely to cause too much upset at Real Madrid.
Throughout this season the Spanish club have grown increasingly cold on the idea of recruiting the France international.
The Madrid board were never entirely convinced that Pogba was going to be good value for money last summer and the form this season of Fede Valverde and Martin Odegaard has strengthened that belief.
And at Real Madrid, Pogba is become less of a target for under-pressure Zinedine Zidane
They have looked like two of the best young midfielders in world football and are doing so much of what Pogba would have been asked to do had he signed.
