Arsene Wenger: Paul Pogba price is 'complete madness'

Arsene Wenger believes Paul Pogba’s proposed £100million (€118m) move to Manchester United represents the “complete madness” of the modern transfer market.

France midfielder Pogba is reportedly set to join United for a nine-figure sum and Arsenal manager Wenger, who is currently in Los Angeles with the Gunners ahead of a pre-season friendly meeting with Chivas, suggested he would not pay over the odds for any player.

Quoted in Tuttosport, he said: “It’s complete madness when measured against real life, but we live in a world in which everything that happens is geared towards moving money around.
