“If the Welshman [Bale] is worth 100 million, then Pogba is worth twice as much.”

Linker’s tweet didn’t go down well with Mino Raiola, and he questioned the Englishman’s “knowledge of football” in an interview with Rai Sport.
“When someone is paid to talk about something, that doesn’t mean he knows what he is talking about. Lineker is one of those,” he said.
“When Gary Lineker talks about Pogba, he hasn’t the slightest idea what he is talking about.
“I remember he said if Claudio Ranieri won the Premier League title with Leicester City, he would present his show in his underpants. That tells you everything.
“Considering the qualities Paul has and the prices I see around Europe, I think Paul is underrated. How much is he worth? The maximum amount a club is prepared to pay for him.
“Just look at a player who is on the bench of Belgium and Olympique Marseille, but is being sold for €40m.”
