Manchester City is reportedly exploring the possibility of signing French midfielder Paul Pogba, who is currently a free agent.
Discussions are said to be underway as the Premier League champions assess the feasibility of bringing the former Manchester United and Juventus star back to England.
Pogba, a World Cup winner with France, recently had his four-year doping ban reduced to 18 months on appeal, making him eligible to return to competitive football by March. His contract with Juventus was terminated last month by mutual consent, leaving the 30-year-old midfielder available on a free transfer.
While Manchester City is keen on strengthening their midfield options with Pogba’s talent and experience, the move could face complications.
Pogba is reportedly hesitant to join City due to his ties with Manchester United, where he spent six seasons and remains a polarizing figure among fans.
If Pogba does make the switch to the blue side of Manchester, it would mark a stunning return to the Premier League and a bold chapter in the rivalry between the two clubs.
The coming weeks will determine whether City’s interest translates into a groundbreaking deal.
