It is an utterly terrible situation at the Old Trafford because Manchester United are out of Champions League. Furthermore, Pogba is not a part of the long term project at the club and is reportedly done with the club.
Manchester United are in a dangerous position. They won’t take a cut-price offer for the Frenchman in January. Someone might offer swap deals in an attempt to sway the club, but Manchester United will ask to see the money.Â
A move away won’t be easy for the 2018 World Cup Winner. Juventus were interested in bringing their former player back to the club without the coronavirus messing the finances up big time.
Problems started last month after a wavy spell of being okay and not okay with the club in spells. Swap deals were proposed by Juve this summer for Pjanic and Costa. Man United rejected the bid, as is surely evident.
The Italian Champions are really in the race for Pogba anytime he is available. He was great with the team and with everyone. Things in Italy are very different from the situation in England.
If there is no agreement for a swap deal, then they must sell. However, Juve won’t find it easy to do so. It has been very difficult for them. For example, Federico Chiesa was signed from Fiorentina this summer, but Douglas Costa And Rugani were let go for him.Â
Mino Raiola didn’t make it clear as to when he will leave. Whether that will be in January or June will be clearer later. This is because it isn’t easy to sell Pogba due to his huge wages.
