Absent since November 2 and a Champions League match against Atalanta Bergamo, Paul Pogba is no longer talking about him on the Premier League grounds but behind the scenes, his extension with the Red Devils continues to ignite the British press .
The winter transfer window is only opening its doors and several hot issues are already starting to emerge. As such, the extension of Paul Pogba on the side of Manchester United continues to animate the various tabloids. On the sidelines for more than two months due to an hamstring injury, the former Juve player has not appeared in the Premier League since last October 24 and this stinging defeat against Liverpool (0-5) where he had also seen red after only 15 minutes of play. And he is not the only one to see red. Free from any contract next June, the French international midfielder (89 caps, 11 goals) has still not found an agreement on his future, something to greatly worry the board of the Red Devils.
In this context, The Sun recently revealed that the Mancunian leaders had quite simply offered an XXL salary to the Pickaxe with emoluments reaching 400,000 pounds sterling per week, or nearly 480,000 euros. Not to mention possible bonuses of up to £ 100,000 … A salary that would quite simply make him the highest paid player in Premier League history. However, according to the latest information from Daily Mail, a spokesperson for Pogba released a statement to Sportsmail to deny this so-called golden bridge offered by Manchester United.
Paul Pogba’s future shakes Manchester United!
“To clarify media rumors, Paul Pogba has not been offered a new contract in recent months. Paul is fully focused on his recovery from injury with the aim of helping the team as soon as possible ”, can we read in this new press release. A statement that once again revives the future of the native of Lagny-sur-Marne, now free to engage where he wishes since January 1. One thing is certain, if the two sides could not reach an agreement, the Mancuniens would then see Pogba go free for the second time in his career (after his free start for Juventus in August 2012).
At a time when several Manchester United players seem to want to leave Old Trafford, the loss of Paul Pogba would have serious consequences for the Red Devils, currently pointing to a disappointing seventh place in the Premier League. Author of 38 goals and 49 assists in 219 matches since his return to United in 2016, the 2018 world champion will not lack, whatever happens, courtiers since his name remains very frequently linked to the greatest European teams. With this in mind, if Juventus and Real Madrid remain on the lookout, PSG, too, could benefit from this abortive extension.
