Manchester City courting Paul Pogba from rival United – Famous predecessors

Among most valuable free transfers

According to English media reports, Manchester City are considering signing Paul Pogba. The 29-year-old can leave city rivals Manchester United for free after the end of the season as his contract expires. With a market value of 55 million euros, the French world champion is the second most valuable professional with an ending working paper. Last summer, the midfielder turned down a new offer from the Red Devils.

According to the “Guardiansoffer a four-year contract with an option for an additional year. According to this, the Frenchman, who Paris Saint-Germain should also try to find, is open to a change to the opponent, even if, according to the report, he will receive a lower salary than his current one. He is reported to be making £290,000 (€339,000) a week.

It would be a controversial move, with Pogba following in the footsteps of, among others, Owen Hargreaves and Carlos Tévez, who both played for both Manchester clubs during their playing careers. In 2016, Man United transferred €105m to Juventus for Pogba, making him the club’s record signing to this day. Juventus also never took more before and after a player sale. Pogba was never constantly happy with the English record champions. Its market value has therefore been falling gradually since 2019. At that time, Pogba was worth 100 million euros, today it is still 55 million euros.

Manchester City need midfield – season probably over for Pogba

City have central midfield needs for next season as the experienced Fernandinho, 37, has announced he will return to his native Brazil to continue his career there. For Pogba, the current season has probably ended prematurely. He suffered a calf injury in the 4-0 loss to Liverpool in April. Overall, he has 233 games for Man United, in which he recorded 39 goals and 51 assists.
