Real Madrid will target Newcastle United midfielder Moussa Sissoko after deciding against a blockbuster move for Paul Pogba, allowing the France prodigy to focus on a transfer to Manchester United.
Spanish radio station Cadena SER (h/t Alberto Pinero and Romeo Agresti of Goal) reported Pogba's signature is no longer of interest to Los Blancos, with "Juventus hoping to conclude a deal with United before the end of the week."
Madrid view Sissoko as a viable alternative to Pogba, with the two individuals sharing many attributes in their armoury.
