However, they will be hoping to bolster their ranks when the transfer market reopens on July 7 after the signing of Gareth Bale. Theywill host the LA Galaxy on July 9 in the Welshman’s first game as a new LAFCplayer.

His salary will be reduced by £27.5 million to ensure his transfer to the California-based squad. An 18-month option is also included in the agreement, which if exercised next summer would raise his compensation and elevate him to the status of a’designated player’.

Gareth Bale to help rivalsLA Galaxy lure Aaron Ramsey?

Gareth Bale’s Welsh international colleague Aaron Ramsey may soon be joining him in the United States, according to reports fromthe US.They may also be lined up in the El Trafico derby of Los Angeles, as a clue from a Twitter usersuggests.

Michele Giannone, a well-known American football writer, believes this might lead to both Gareth Bale and Ramsey playing in the MLS. One would play for LAFC, while the 31-year-old midfielder would move to Galaxy.

A Juventus player moving to the MLSwould not be unprecedented. Currently, on loan from the 36-time Italian champions for the rest of the season,LA Galaxy havewinger, Douglas Costa.

It’s also worth noting that Giorgio Chiellini just ended his 17-year career with the Bianconeri to play for LAFC alongside Bale. In 2020, ex-Juve striker Gonzalo Higuain joined the then-new MLS sideInter Miami after leaving the club.

Even still, the rumored €4 million payment by Juventus to terminate Aaron Ramsey’s contract, which was due to expire at the end of the next season, will further stoke speculation that the Welsh midfielder may join Gareth Bale in the MLS.

Pogba left the Old Lady in 2016to become the Red Devils’ record signing in a mind-blowing €105 million deal. He struggled to live up to the high expectations at Old Trafford but eventually, he proved to be the world-class player United saw in him.

And now, the club is concerned due to his contract situation as he could leave for free at the end of the season, with a number of sides already linked with Pogba. One of them is his former team, who would be willing to offer him a lucrative salary – if they sell two players first.

Juventus reportedly keen on a Paul Pogba reunion but need to raise funds first

According to La Gazzetta Dello Sport, the Serie A giants want to re-sign Paul Pogba, offering him a contract worth£10 million per season. Although that’s nearly£2 million less than what he reportedly earns at Manchester United, the France international hasn’t ruled out a move next summer.

But the report claims that Juventus need to raise funds to afford this deal, with Aaron Ramsey and Adrien Rabiot possibly beingtransfer listed to make that possible. The former Arsenal star seems to be set for a departure regardless of this move, while Rabiot would only leave to make room for Pogba.

If this move ultimately materializes,history would be repeating itself as Pogba’s arrival at Juve in 2012 was also in a free transfer fromMan United. He went on to win four Serie A titles and two Coppa Italia trophies in a four-year stint in Italy before he returned to England.
