Transfer News: Manchester United midfielder Paul Pogba has eyes set on Juventus next summer
According to the Italian outlet ilBiancoNero, Manchester United midfielder Paul Pogba has a preference to return to Juventus in the summer transfer window. He has been subjected to a lot of talks regarding his future for the past few months as a result of his contract situation.
Paul Pogba has entered the final five months of his current deal with Man United and could be in line to depart on a free after this season. Moreover, he could sign a pre-contract agreement with foreign clubs if he wants to take an early decision. A return to Turin is probable because of his past relations, which could also be the reason for his current stance.
The 28-year-old’s salary package worth €15million per season is a hindrance for Juve, which means that he could be forced to take a pay cut. However, they could also look to raise money through the sale of Matthijs de Ligt, who has been surrounded by uncertainty. They are in the process of a rebuild and the midfielder could suit them, especially after the departure of Rodrigo Bentancur last month.
No chance for Pogba stay?
If this claim is to be considered to be true, then we might be losing the services of the Frenchman at the end of this campaign. The comments from Ralf Rangnick does not fill us with confidence either, which could give us an idea about the club’s stance regarding his future.
After all, the boss would not have openly challenged the Premier League midfielder to do his best to prove his worth to others if he plans to move elsewhere. We could be preparing for life after him as a result, and this latest update would go in line with it. Even if there is a slight chance that he could stay with us, it is further brought down by the other interested parties.
Real Madrid and Paris Saint-Germain are also in the mix as they try to prise the Man United ace before others. Real are even looking to sign Kylian Mbappe and use him as a tool to convince the central midfielder to join them next season. The months ahead of the summer transfer window would be interesting, to say the least, because of this situation.

Since returning from injury, the France international has been excellent for us, indicating the quality that we could potentially lose after this term. We already need reinforcements in our midfield, so his exit could put us in an even worse situation. The board has to take action at the earliest and find a suitable replacement if he leaves us. Only time will tell what lies in store for us next season.
