Manchester United are ready to make Paul Pogba the highest-paid Premier League player with a monstrous contract of£500,000-a-week. The star French midfielder is out of contract at Old Trafford this summer and many big European elites are circling around for his signature on a pre-agreement contract.
According to the report from the Sun, Manchester United are determined to tie up one of their best players with an offer he can’s refuse. The Red Devils are also looking for another holding midfielder who can complement Pogba and Bruno Fernandes in midfield. United are recently linked with a possible January move for Wolves’ Portuguese star Ruben Neves with an opening bid of £35 million.
The 28-year-old midfielder is currently out injured and has missed the majority of the first half of the season. Pogba has been sensational this season with 7 assists in 9 league matches but hasn’t scored any goal in 13 overall appearances this term. Pogba has been struggling with fitness and form and having a mixed stint at Old Trafford since his arrival from Juventus in 2016. He has scored 28 goals in 143 appearances for Manchester United and has won World Cup with France but no major silverware with Red Devils.
PSG, Real Madrid, And Juventus Interested In Paul Pogba:
Manchester United can certainly match any contract offer but it will depend on Pogba, who is reportedly not happy at Old Trafford along with other key players. Nee manager Ralf Rangnick has introduced a 4-2-2-2 formation with two holding midfielders and two attacking-minded midfielders, so Pogba can fit in this formation than any other United midfielders. According to recent reports, the majority of the United players are in disagreement over new formation changes and looking for an exit at Old Trafford.
Pogba has drawn the attention of three of the biggest European clubs Real Madrid, PSG, and Juventus. Both Real Madrid and Paris Saint-Germain are financially sound and can offer the Frenchman regular Champions League football. Veteran midfielder Luca Modric is set to leave Real Madrid in the summer and Toni Kross will be 33 years of age in the summer. Real Madrid have already signed future starlet Eduardo Camavinga last summer who plays as midfield partner to Pogba in France national team.

Juventus are also looking to bring back their former star, who left in 2016 for a then world-record fee of £89 million. Now signing him back on a free transfer will be an excellent piece of business from Massimiliano Allegri. But it all depends on whether or not they finish this season in top-four. Juventus are struggling in 5 the position with 35 points, 3 points behind 4th placed Atalanta, but have played a game more. PSG are also interested in signing a French star and can offer him better wages and surely regular Champions League football. But the Parisians need to offload a few key midfielders to make a place of Pogba in their overloaded midfield.
