Paul Pogba receives a whopping £128m offer. Paul Pogba, a former midfielder for Manchester United, is the subject of an absurd £128 million offer. According to Express, it is a request that he pledges his loyalty to the thriving Saudi Arabian football league and abandon Juventus.
After a difficult six-year saga during his second season at Old Trafford, Pogba left Manchester for Turin last summer. Due to injury issues, he had a relatively underwhelming start to his comeback season with Juventus.
He only got to play for 161 minutes total throughout 10 matches, which added to the disappointment Juventus had as a result of losing the Champions League.
Nevertheless, amid the turmoil Pogba is presently experiencing in Turin, a possible transfer for him to the Middle Eastern monarchy has made the news. The Saudis are prepared to make Pogba a sizable offer this summer in an audacious effort to give their league international prestige.
According to The Gazzetta Dello Sport (via Express), Pogba rejected a first offer of £85 million over three years. But the deal is being remarkably sweetened, with a lavish £128 million on the table. Pogba was reportedly seen in Jeddah last week, likely meeting with Al-Ittihad and Al-Ahli to discuss the offer.
With Cristiano Ronaldo’s January transfer to Al-Nassr, Saudi Arabia’s ambitious initiative gained steam and attracted top European football players. Karim Benzema and N’Golo Kante, two of Pogba’s fellow Frenchmen, are currently sporting the Al-Ittihad uniform.
Numerous more well-known athletes have committed their skills to the Saudi league, including Ruben Neves, Kalidou Koulibaly, Marcelo Brozovic, Edouard Mendy, and Roberto Firmino. Pogba, though, showed up at the Italian team for preseason training and appears undecided about leaving Juventus.
The player-plus-cash offer from Manchester United for the Benfica striker fails:
Information on a failed Manchester United deal for Goncalo Ramos, the top striker for Benfica, has been made public by CaughtOffside. The Brazilian left-back Alex Telles was prominently included in the plan.
Manchester United has intensified its chase of Ramos and Atalanta forward Rasmus Hojlund so far during the summer window. Finding an acceptable offer for Ramos has proven to be more difficult than initially thought.
The 22-year-old has drawn interest from several teams, including United, following a successful run with Benfica and a strong World Cup performance with Portugal. Newcastle United and Paris Saint-Germain have both expressed an interest in the Portuguese striker in the past, but neither club appears to be participating in the competition right now.
The Red Devils are currently deliberating their next course of action as the future of the deal hangs in the balance. Telles, a defender for Manchester United, apparently prefers Benfica to his old team Porto and wants to leave the latter.
