Paul Pogba has decided to decline any offer that comes his way from Manchester City, prompting a three-horse race for his signature, it has been claimed.
Pogba will be out of contract with Manchester United in the summer. It looks likely that he will be leaving the club as a free agent for the second time in his career. But where he will end up has remained up for question.
One solution that recently emerged was the chance to move across Manchester to sign for Pep Guardiola’s side. Going from United to Manchester City is not a well-trodden path.
However, some pundits felt a fired-up Pogba could have made it work. Jamie Redknapp went as far as calling it a “no brainer” for City to sign him at the weekend. Others, like Jamie Carragher, just could not see it happening.
And indeed, it looks as if the Pogba to City link is about to fade, just days after it sparked into life.
Although confirming an interest from City, The Athletic journalist David Ornstein has reported that the transfer is “not going to happen”.
The respected source claims the Frenchman “gave serious contemplation” to a “flattering proposal” from United’s cross-city rivals. However, City have now been informed by his representatives that he will not be making the move.
Instead, Pogba will look to continue his career outside the Premier League. His options have therefore been narrowed down to Juventus, Paris Saint-Germain and Real Madrid.
