Real Madrid, Juventus and PSG to battle it out for Manchester United superstar Paul Pogba
According to Italian publication CalcioMercato, Manchester United star Paul Pogba has emerged as a target for three European heavyweights in the upcoming summer.
The Frenchman has a little over a year left on his current contract at Old Trafford and looks set to leave the club next summer. The club’s record signing, it has been an eventful if inconsistent five years at Old Trafford.
He will not be short of suitors, with the likes of Real Madrid, Juventus and PSG all keeping tabs on Pogba’s progress.
Pogba’s exit will come as no surprise given his agent Mino Raiola’s revelations back in December. If things stay as they are, this summer represents the opportunity for us to cash in on the 27-year-old.
It was revealed by the player’s brother recently that Pogba will make his way out of the club, one way or the other. With the financial crisis and time left on his contract, it remains to be seen if United recoup what they paid for the player five years ago.
The Frenchman, to his credit, has been one of our best players in recent weeks. He has unfortunately failed to put in the same level of performances throughout his stay.
Injuries and a lack of consistency have marred what could have been a legendary homecoming for the Frenchman. While he could still leave the club in a better position, there is so much more he could have achieved during his stay at the Theatre of Dreams.
