According to Foot Mercato in France, Paul Pogba met with Paris Saint-Germain sporting director Leonardo to discuss a move this summer. The contract with Manchester United expires at the end of the season, and he is anticipated to depart the club.
About the Offer from United
As per some reports, United offered Pogba a new contract for £500,000 per week. If he stayed at the club, making him the Premier League’s highest-paid player. The contract begins with a base pay of £400,000, with add-ons totalling half a million pounds.
That offer to Pogba has infuriated the rest members of the Red Devils’ squad, with many believing he is unworthy based on his on-field performances and apprehension about committing to his future.
If Paul Pogba accepts the contract offer, it might cause an issue for Liverpool and Jurgen Klopp if the Frenchman stays at Old Trafford. Pogba’s contract is set to expire at the end of June, and United are desperate to keep him.
United is still hoping to fight off interest in Pogba and persuade him to stay with the Premier League club. They are expected to make a final contract offer that will likely outshine their competitors.
Pogba Meets with PSG Director
According to the report, Pogba has little competition, and after meeting with Leonardo, the World Cup champion might be moving to Paris in the coming months.
The France international is expected to quit United this summer after failing to agree to a contract offer from the Premier League club, but it seems like the worst kept secret in football. Pogba has been dissatisfied since his return to Manchester in 2016, unable to contend for the titles he had hoped for when he returned from Juventus.

But he must share some of the burdens because he has not actively performed under any of their managers. He struggled under Jose Mourinho, but neither Ole Gunnar Solskjaer nor Ralf Rangnick was able to bring out the best in him.
He was associated with a comeback to Juventus as well as a transfer to Real Madrid. At this moment, we don’t believe any United fans are worried about Pogba’s future. The club should have cashed in a year ago, but there are far too many people who have fallen asleep at the wheel. A terrible situation for England’s most famous football club.
