Rumour Has It: Paul Pogba considering shock Manchester City switch

Pogba,
29,
has
previously
spoken
about
regretting
his
move
to
Old
Trafford,
and
had
been
expected
to
leave
the
Premier
League
in
the
upcoming
transfer
window,
being
strongly
linked
with
Barcelona
and
Real
Madrid.

While
the
Frenchman
has
highlighted
his
desire
to
compete
for
trophies,
he
may
not
have
to
leave
the
city
to
get
his
wish,
with
a
chance
to
insert
himself
into
Manchester
football
folklore
if
he
ditches
the
red
for
sky
blue.

CITY
TO
OFFER
POGBA
FOUR-YEAR
DEAL
WITH
FREE
TRANSFER

The
Daily
Mail
is
reporting
City
have
interest
in
bringing
in
Pogba
on
a
free
transfer,
while
the
Guardian
claims
the
French
midfielder
would
like
to
work
with
Pep
Guardiola,
and
that
the
club
are
willing
to
offer
a
four-year
deal.

If
he
makes
the
move,
Pogba
would
be
arguably
the
biggest
name
to
ever
make
the
switch,
rivalling
Carlos
Tevez,
but
the
Guardian
report
notes
he
would
be
taking
a
pay
cut
in
doing
so.

It
is
not
known
if
offers
coming
from
Spain
would
be
more
lucrative
financially,
but
arguably
no
team
can
offer
a
better
chance
at
European
and
domestic
success
than
City.

In
154
Premier
League
appearances
since
his
arrival
in
2016,
Pogba
has
scored
29
goals
and
laid
on
41
assists.
