Reports claimed Real were willing to offer Pogba a €10million-a-year contract but the Spanish giants have released an official statement, declaring otherwise
The 22-year-old has been tipped to leave Juventus this summer, with a host of clubs - including Manchester City - said to be interested.
Italian newspaper La Stampa reported that Real were willing to offer Pogba a five-year contract, earning him a staggering €10million per season.
However, Real moved quickly to deny the claims, releasing a statement on their official website.
It read: "Following reports published in Italian newspaper La Stampa concerning an alleged offer from Real Madrid for the player Paul Pogba, the club wishes to state the following: Real Madrid have had no contact either with Juventus or the player's agent and, as a consequence, the reports published in this newspaper are completely false."
Reports in Italy on Thursday suggested Barcelona sporting director Ariedo Braida was in Turin, with the intention of meeting Juve about agreeing a deal.
Barca are said to be proposing a move which would see Pogba return to Juve on loan, with the Serie A champions thought to be keen.
Pogba, who left Manchester United in 2012, has developed into one of the best midfielders in world football in Turin, helping the Bianconeri to three consecutive titles.
Juventus want £70million for the midfielder, which has put off PSG from offering him a return to his home city.
That leaves three clubs with a realistic chance of landing the 22-year-old, and Manchester City remain hopeful a deal can be done.
