Transfer News: Paul Pogba open to staying but will survey the scene first
According to transfer news from The Athletic (subscription required), Paul Pogba is open to staying at Manchester United but will wait to see what happens. There has been interest from PSG in the Frenchman but United are hoping to get him to commit to fresh terms.
Manchester United are in a real spot of bother with Pogba’s situation. The midfielder is arguably in his peak form for both club and county with just one year left on his current deal. A stellar campaign for France on a personal level in the Euros has only amped up the interest in the enigmatic French star.
There are two ways for United to go about here. They can cash in on him now and take the fee to get a replacement. Or they can look to keep him with the hope that he signs an extension over the next season, thereby risking losing him for free.
Should they chose to cash in, PSG is the most likely destination. However, Pogba’s decision should give Manchester United some hope. The World Cup winner isn’t exactly looking to move back to his home country. He is open to staying back but will take his time to assess the situation.
