PSG to make key decisions regarding their squad before advancing talks for Manchester United star Paul Pogba
According to RMC Sport via ESPN, French side Paris Saint-Germain are waiting to see whether they can offload some players before advancing talks for Paul Pogba.
Pogba is set to leave Manchester United at the end of the season when his contract with the Red Devils will expire. He has attracted interest from Manchester City, Real Madrid, Juventus and Paris Saint-Germain.
Paris Saint-Germain are reported to be interested in the 29-year-old midfielder who will be out of contract with Manchester United at the end of the season, but talks won’t be initiated with his representatives before key decisions have been made regarding the squad.
Former Premier League midfielder Jamie Redknapp believes Pogba joining Manchester City this summer is a no-brainer and has urged Pep Guardiola to sign the Manchester United star.
“It would be an incredible move,” Redknapp said on Sky Sports.
“It would be one I wouldn’t have seen coming. You have to weigh it up. On a free transfer, he’d have a point to prove because he’s taken a lot of stick at United.
“There’s a few times I’ve watched games between United and City and he [Guardiola] always goes over to have a bit of dialogue. He obviously respects him as a player, there was talk a few years ago that he might have gone for him.
“No matter what you say about Paul Pogba, it’s a free transfer – high wages of course but that’s not a problem for Man City – you would take him in a heartbeat. He adds a lot to this team and I think he’d be hungry to come and show what he can do.
“He lives in the area, I think it would be an incredible move. It would be a brave move, but I’d love to see that in the Premier League. I think it would make sense all round.
“He would have to be completely different to the player we’ve seen at United, that’s a fact. He’d have to play a lot more like he does for France. I think it’s a no-brainer. He scores goals, he adds so much to the team.”
