Pogba celebrates a Euro in 2021

Manchester United prepares to sell Paul Pogba “down” according explains The Sun. Although a few days ago it seemed that the player was thinking of staying, the option of looking for another team is still the best for both parties. Manchester United can renew the French midfielder, whose contract expires in 2021, for an additional year, although he would only do so to be able to continue taking advantage of a transfer without his price falling much.

As the British newspaper tells, the idea is to get a hundred million pounds for it, that is, 106 million euros. That's almost half of what they got to ask the Real Madrid for him last summer (they wanted £ 180m, € 191m). They would seek a transfer within the reach of very few clubs in the world despite the fact that the price falls so much (remember that there are no withdrawal clauses in England).

Mino Raiola, its representative, has repeatedly stated that the footballer wants to play for Juventus. Yesterday even social networks fired because the player put on a Juventus shirt in solidarity with his compatriot Matuidi, infected with coronavirus. the Italian team is the most interested in him, although Real Madrid does not rule out a new approach in the future. The postponement of the Euro Cup would do him good not only because in 2020 he might not have arrived in the best conditions, but because United thought to make a profit if he could roll in the competition. This would force them to ask for less money for him, being easier his exit in the short term. In the long term, with the Nations tournament in 2021, the Frenchman will have a year left on his contract (assuming that the automatic renewal is carried out) and could ask for a higher chip if he goes free in 2022. All options come in handy.

It seems difficult for any club to want to pay so much for it, but it is possible that the final figure will approach that amount. What does not seem likely is that Pogba is still on the team. This year he has not played much due to an ankle injury, Bruno Fernandes has come (which is why he wanted to stay) to supply him and most importantly: Ole Gunnar Solskjaer does not want egos in his new project.
