Pogba still set to leave United despite contract extension rumours

Ever since the bombshell announcement made by Mino Raiola regarding his client, Paul Pogba leaving Manchester United, the Frenchman has surprisingly managed to play well consistently. Multiple vital goals much like the player’s best performances have managed to instill doubts in the minds of fans as to whether he is still on his way out of the club. 

Speaking on the issue on the Here We Go podcast on Patreon, Fabrizio Romano and Francesco Porzio mentioned that Mino Raiola is working quietly in an attempt to secure a move for his client at the end of the season. 

Rumours have been circulating that Pogba has changed his mind regarding his future at Manchester United and is now considering a contract extension at the Old Trafford. However, those rumours were deemed false by the two Italian transfer insiders. 

In a situation of a highly-paid player of the stature of Paul Pogba, there can only be a few destinations because only very few clubs have the capacity to match his economical expectations. 

During the winter transfer window, Pogba was talked about as the top transfer target for Paris Saint-Germain in the summer, and the financial backing of the French Champions certainly allows them to make the investment. 

Elsewhere, Real Madrid could also be in the race for the player, but they have not made any concrete bid yet. Zidane is an admirer of his compatriot, but the current financial situation has diminished Los Merengues’ power. Hence, while Madrid can certainly go for the player, they are steering clear of him right now. 

A return to Juventus has always been talked about. Everybody from Director Fabio Paratici to the staff at the club and the fans love the player and would be glad to have him again. With the Bianconeri also in the market for a top midfielder, the stars could align for another stint at the Juventus Stadium for the 2018 World Cup winner.
