There have been a number of contradictory claims about Paul Pogba’s future at Manchester United in recent weeks.
Even though it’s almost certain that the Frenchman will leave Old Trafford this summer, his next destination remains unknown.
Real Madrid doesn’t really appear to be as interested as they once were, and Man City is an option the player is said to have rejected, indicating his desire to leave England.
That leaves PSG, who can really offer him a return to France, and Juventus, a club he knows well enough from his four years there, as possible landing spots.
According to reports this week, the Ligue 1 champions aren’t ready to make a move for the Manchester United midfielder, which opens the door for Juventus.
On Friday, Corriere Torino analyzed the situation, stating that the player “remains Juve’s number one desire,” despite the fact that the financial aspect of it all makes such a move extremely difficult.
‘Pogba has really kept ties with Juve, and Turin, and it’s equally true that he did not exclude a priori the story to an amazing saga,’ they say.
Federico Cherubini has ‘already added a few talks with the midfielder’s entourage to assess the situation,’ and the bottom line is that the Man United midfielder ‘has really not decided his future yet.’
Juventus are interested in bringing in a player with 53.6 million Instagram followers and another 10 million or so on Twitter as they look for a ‘franchise man’ to be their golden boy for a few years until Dusan Vlahovic develops into the superstar they expect him to be.
Something to consider as we approach the end of Pogba’s time at Manchester United.
