MERCATO – POGBA: A PLAYER TO FORGET FOR PSG
PSG’s pursuit of Paul Pogba is facing significant hurdles, particularly due to UEFA’s sanctions on clubs that have not complied with financial fair play regulations. PSG, limited to spending only a portion of their considerable funds, must carefully consider their options for the summer transfer window.
As a result, Pogba’s acquisition has become less of a priority for PSG’s leadership. Juventus, aware of the financial constraints faced by potential suitors like PSG and Manchester City, has adjusted its approach to retaining Pogba. They understand that PSG and Manchester City are among the few clubs capable of meeting their asking price, but these clubs are restricted in their spending this summer.
In response, Juventus has decided to hold onto Pogba and potentially sell Arturo Vidal to raise funds. Vidal has been linked with a move to Manchester United, with Juventus hoping to secure around €40 million from his sale. These funds could then be reinvested in other transfers, such as Alexis Sanchez’s potential move to Barcelona.
Overall, the financial limitations imposed by UEFA’s regulations are complicating PSG’s pursuit of Pogba, with Juventus adjusting their strategy accordingly to retain the French midfielder and potentially offload other players to raise funds.
