Paul Pogba is in the last year of his contract with Manchester United. This means that the player could walk away for free next summer.
The French player has not shown consistent performance in the Red Devils. However, with the French squad, Pogba is one of its main pillars with great displays of talent.
The Red Devils’ hierarchy has given Pogba a deadline to decide on his future before Christmas. The club does not want to have to deal with speculation all season, as this could be negative for the club’s performance.
Man U is willing to offer the player a new deal. Recall that in 2016 the club paid £ 89million to Juventus to bring back the player who had left Old Trafford as a teenager. So it is clear that the club has a great appreciation for Pogba.
However, Pogba is not short of candidates who are interested in his services. According to the Spanish publication AS, Real Madrid is interested in signing the player.
Madrid would be interested not only in the skills that Pogba can bring to the squad, but they also see it as a way to convince Kylian Mbappe to join the club.
Mbappe also ends his contract with PSG next summer, and the player has expressed his desire to leave the French capital. However, the club has categorically stated that Mbappe will not move to any other club.
Another club that is closely following Pogba’s case is Juventus. The club board is very interested in the player returning to Turin. In fact, it is speculated that Juve would launch its first attack in January to take the player in the winter transfer market.
