Manchester United have reportedly agreed that midfielder, Paul Pogba, can leave the club for free at the end of the current campaign.
According to ESPN, United’s hierarchy have felt for several months that the French star would not sign a new contract and are now resigned to losing him on a free transfer next summer.
Real Madrid, Juventus and Paris Saint-Germain have all expressed an interest in signing Pogba.
The report claimed that the Old Trafford outfit will not be looking to secure a transfer fee for Pogba by selling him in the January window, and are planning to keep the 28-year-old for the remainder of the season.
United are also said to be already making plans for Pogba’s departure, and will strengthen their midfield options next summer.
When asked about Pogba’s future this week, Mino Raiola, his agent, said:
“You would have to ask Manchester United about it. At this moment everything is calm. There is no update.”
Pogba, who returned to United in an £89 million deal from Juventus in 2016, has struggled to find consistency during his second stint at club.
The France international started on the bench for United’s 5-0 defeat to Liverpool on Sunday October 24, and was sent off in the 60th minute after he came in at half time.
