Despite the 2021/22 season continuing to rumble on, it looks like transfer rumour season is back in full flow, as an array of reports have now linked Manchester City to a sensational swoop for Paul Pogba this summer.
Since Manchester United’s decision to initiate their academy graduate’s return from Juventus by signing him for a world-record breaking fee of £89 million in 2016, the general consensus around the French international is that he has flattered to deceive at Old Trafford in over half a decade.
However, the latest information has suggested that there is truth to the speculation around Manchester City targeting the enigmatic midfielder’s signature, whose contract is set to expire this summer.
Further details also state that Pep Guardiola is an ‘admirer’ of Paul Pogba, despite his ‘problems’ at Manchester United over the past few years.
Interestingly, the Catalan manager realised how effective the 29-year old is for France, in contrast to his underwhelming displays for Manchester United, and is said to believe that within the ‘right club environment’, the divisive midfielder could maintain the form he showcases in national colours.
With Fernandinho set to depart the Etihad Stadium at the end of the ongoing season, it would be interesting to monitor whether Paul Pogba is added to Manchester City’s ranks to take over the spot vacated by the current club captain.
