Pogba, in negotiations

“I don't think about my future, I'm only focused on the Euro Cup”, said Paul Pogba after the draw between France and Portugal (2-2) last Wednesday. And he is, since before Cristiano and company he was exhibited again and is the star that shines the most in the French constellation. At their club, however, they do pay attention to their contractual situation. Days ago the intention of the Red Devils to present him with an offer that would make him the highest paid footballer in the Premier: more than 24 million euros a year.

The relationship between Pogba and United has long been the subject of scrutiny. First it was for the interest of Madrid, with Zidane at the head. But the very high financial claims prevented the midfielder from leaving Old Trafford. Later, immersed in a performance bump and doubts, Mino Raiola agitated his future with the well-known statements that put an expiration date on his stay at the club.

At 28 years old, our protagonist could be before the signing of his last major contract as a professional and United is clear that they want to be the ones who embody their signature next to that of Lagny-sur-Marne. Even if, if the conversations do not come to fruition, Pogba could be part of the Varane operation, as this newspaper has reported.

Finding a companion to Maguire is one of the objectives of the Mancuniana sports management and Raphael Varane is the one he likes the most. In addition, the defender is in a contractual situation similar to Pogba and both could draw a beneficial exchange for both parties. The signing of Jadon Sancho, the other great obsession of the entity, seems to be approaching and this would mean a disbursement that would not allow amassing enough money for Madrid to accept the departure of Varane. Hence the exchange comes to the surface. Nevertheless, Pogba has never hidden his desire to wear white one day …
