Paul Pogba, a 29-year-old Manchester United midfielder whose contract ends in June 2022, was a priority for Paris Saint-Germain for his 2021 transfer window and the player was tempted by this possibility. But there was finally the recruitment of Lionel Messi (34-year-old striker) who blocked the deal, not to mention that Manchester United had a certain demand. The track leading to the French international was therefore delayed but not forgotten. While Man U indicated recently that a departure is very likely, Paris is again present in the race. But this Saturday Daily Mail adds an important competitor in the race: Manchester City. Journalist Fabrizio Romano has confirmed that he is a track of the English club.
« Our newspaper has learned that City are exploring the option of signing Pogba for next season. Given the restrictions, the club cannot make a formal offer until the end of the season. It can be a disadvantage. But City have the financial muscle to offer an enticing deal.
Convincing him to come from United is perhaps the biggest hurdle. However, we are told that Pogba wouldn’t push the idea away and would consider it as with other offers received. PSG and Juventus are among the clubs also interested in Pogba. »
As always with a rumor, we urge some caution since there is nothing certain or concrete. But it is not impossible that Manchester City plans to achieve this milestone, with a recruitment from its great rival. Which has already happened a few times. Here, the end of Pogba’s contract is obviously an opportunity that attracts interest. He’s been erratic at Manchester United, but they’ve been a struggling club for several years that aren’t helping any players. His performances at Juventus have not been forgotten and he has often been good in the French team.
Now we have to wait to see how much the mentioned clubs want to fight, without forgetting the possibility of a rumor launched by his entourage to put pressure in the negotiations, and what will be Pogba’s final decision. The latter appreciates the idea of signing at PSG, but it is not yet enough to be sure that he will go through with it since there are other options that can be interesting.
