As reported by L’Équipe, Manchester United midfielder Paul Pogba might join Paris Saint-Germain on a free transfer this summer.
The French midfielder’s contract expires at the end of the season, and despite the club’s numerous attempts to hand him a new contract, it appears that he will leave this summer.
Paul Pogba left for Juventus on a free transfer in 2013, and the club appears to be repeating the same mistake this time. The club then re-signed him for a then-record fee of £89.3 million.
Since his return to the club in 2016, he has scored 26 goals in 143 league outings, despite injuries hampering his performances in recent seasons.

He is an important member of the squad, and it appears that losing him on a free transfer would be a big losse.
Many rumors have surfaced in recent months claiming that the French giants are keen on signing the midfielder, with Pogba open to the idea.
According to the report, PSG’s sporting director Leonardo Araujo and Pogba’s agent Mino Raiola have already held discussions regarding his future.
However, PSG needs to sell in order to get more players, but they have been unable to sell any players this January.
The major goal of the current market was to sell to raise money for the summer in which Pogba could arrive for free. But he would have big wage demands, which could have been fulfilled if the club tries to sell some of its players and balance the financial books.
Pogba’s future is becoming clearer by the day, with a move to the French club appearing to be the best option. United supporters will be hoping that the contract issue is settled before the end of the season.
In any case, if he leaves, Manchester United has to act swiftly to find a worthy replacement.
