Paul Pogba has entered the last three months of his contract with Manchester United, and the talks to extend his stay in England have been stalled for a while now. As a result, it is very likely that he will leave the Red Devils in June as a free agent.
The 28-year-old Frenchman has failed to leave a mark in his second stint at Old Trafford. He has been a pale shadow of the player he was at Juventus, and he has also failed to repeat the performances he showed withthe French national team. His lack of motivation has seen him slipdown the pecking order of the past United managers, although he has proven his class on several occasions.
Manchester United splasheda sum ofâŹ105 million for the services of thecentral midfielder in 2016, and they reportedly have no intentions to lose him for free this summer. For the Premier League giants, Pogba has recorded 226 official appearances, scoring 39 goals, and adding another 50 assists.
Pogba set for his second Juventus stint?
According to the Italian newspaper Gazzetta dello Sport, the discussions for Pogbaâs return to Juventus have alreadybeenunderway. The Bianconeriwant to bring the player back into their ranks and thus, strengthen perhaps the weakest areaof Massimiliano Allegriâs roster.
It is said that the Serie A club areready to offer him a salary of âŹ7.5 millionplus bonuses, which is, in fact, half of the Frenchmanâs earnings at United. In addition, Juveâs officialshave been in contact with Pogbaâs agent, Mino Raiola,and the player would reportedly,not mind completing a Juventus comeback.
âItâs pointless to discuss him. Paul plays for Manchester United, and I am not sure what he will do next season. True, I had a wonderful connection with Pogba, but now is not the time to discuss new acquisitionsâ,Juventus manager Allegri stated to the press on Saturday.
