If the river makes a noise its because water is running and something like this must be happening to the Seine as it passes through Paris, as it must be close to overflowing. First it was Wijnaldum, then Achraf, Ramos and Donnarumma, who also arrive in the French capital. Four names that change the face of a PSG that promised Neymar, when they renewed him, a megaproject. The maximum headache is Mbappé, who continues to delay his renewal, but in the meantime, Leonardo is more than delivering on his promise. In fact, he already has the next move in mind: Paul Pogba.
On June 10, the United midfielder, in the concentration with the French national team, stated that he had “not received any offer”. Neither renewal (contract ends in 2022), nor transfer. However, if it came from Paris, he would welcome it, since according to sources close to the 28-year-old footballer L'Équipe, Pogba is seduced by the idea of playing at the Parc des Princes at home. What's more, the prestigious newspaper adds the price that would have to be paid to make him change of scene: between 50 and 60 million euros.
The amount is not prohibitive, and less considering the financial muscle that PSG enjoys. In addition, of the four mentioned signings, only Achraf (60 million) has involved a disbursement, salaries aside, since Wijnaldum, Ramos and Donnarumma arrive free. However, You must follow the guidelines set by the Financial Fair Play and to do this, before buying again, and dialing the Old Trafford office number, you have to sell.
Before, to balance accounts
Days ago the LFP accounts appeared and in them you could see the hole that Parisians must face, the French club with the most losses, with 124 million euros. If you want to avoid a wake-up call, sales must total 180 million. It is a lot, of course, but Leonardo has to work on his biggest must, the exits (buying with solvency, but selling is another story), if he wants to avoid the yoke of debt that could come with its consequent penalties.
Pogba's stats with Manchester United.

There are several 'salable' players. Areola, whose assignment at Fulham has revalued him and has no place with the arrival of Donnarumma and the presence of Keylor; Kehrer, which has not convinced despite the strong bet that was made for him (37 million); Rafinha, which has not counted too much for Pochettino; Sarabia, one of the revelations of the Eurocopa, but without place in the schemes of the Argentine; Gueye and Paredes, important for Poche, but with a good poster; or Icardi, who Moise Kean has paid with the currency that the former Inter used with Cavani a year earlier.
Much candidate, but as recounted L'ÉquipeNot everyone wants to go out and special emphasis should be placed on the center of the field, since the final idea of this facelift is none other than to go after Pogba. The messages that arrive are confusing, yes. Raiola made it clear that his client's relationship with the Red devils it had an expiration date. However, the statements served as a springboard for a player who had been in doubt up to that point. His end of course has been fantastic, crowned with a stupendous (despite the early elimination of Les Bleus) Eurocup, and in Manchester they want to renew him. However, always according to the information reported by the aforementioned medium, he considers that the time has come to pack his bags again. If so, surely PSG will not be the only team that knocks on your door …
