Manchester United are growing increasingly confident of extending Paul Pogba’s contract – but look set to do so on their terms only after a crafty move from his agent Mino Raiola reportedly backfired.
Pogba, 28, is in the final year of his contract with Manchester United. The club understandably wish to tie the Frenchman down to fresh terms. However, Pogba is yet to make a final decision and is seemingly content to weigh up his options amid widespread interest from the continent.
Real Madrid, PSG, Juventus and Barcelona have all been credited with interest. If the lure of signing a top class performer wasn’t already strong enough, the potential absence of a transfer fee has heightened his appeal.
Indeed, Pogba will be free to negotiate a pre-contract agreement with overseas clubs come January. That would then lead to a free agent switch in the summer.
