As things stand, Paul Pogba will be able to depart the club for free in less than six months. The Red Devils have had a rollercoaster five years since signing the French midfielder from Juventus in 2016.
Pogba, 28, and his agent Mino Raiola have been a constant thorn in the side of his client. The super-agent for the French World Cup winner has never been hesitant about publicly promoting his star client to other teams, even hinting at a possible reunion with Juventus.
However, with the midfielder currently out injured and his contract about to expire, many are wondering if they’ll ever see Pogba play for the team again. Although a January move appears unlikely, it cannot be fully ruled out.
After previous rumors stated the Red Devils had made an offer to the 28-year-old, fans are hoping for a contract extension. This is not the case, according to a more recent report from the Daily Mail.
A spokesperson for the France midfielder has issued a statement saying that no contract offer has been made and insisting that the midfielder’s sole focus is on getting back to full fitness.
The statement read: “To clarify media reports, Paul has not been offered a new contract in recent months. Paul is fully focused on his recovery from injury with the aim of helping the team as soon as possible.”
The contract situation of Paul Pogba is still hanging by the thread and by looking at the current circumstances, it seems that United will be trying their best to convince Pogba to stay.
Ralf Rangnick has been facing a midfield crisis at the club as the team has underperformed in their recent matches. Pogba’s return would boost the team’s morale and will provide some hope for the German coach as well.
