Paul Pogba wanted to revive himself by returning to Juventus but unfortunately he had an almost white year. What make the Turinese want to get rid of it and that’s good the French environment is in the sights of the ambitious Saudis.
The Saudi Pro League will soon become a gathering of the biggest stars in world football. The recruitment of clubs in the Kingdom has accelerated since the arrival of Cristiano Ronaldo last January. Al Ittihad have signed Karim Benzema and are awaiting the signing of N’Golo Kanté soon. But that’s not all. Other names are whispered insistently: Neymar, Riyad Mahrez or Ilkay Gundogan. The latest is none other than Paul Pogba according to information from the 90min site. It is not yet known which club wants it but “la Pioche” is well targeted by the sports authorities of the Kingdom.
Pogba towards a second departure in Saudi Arabia?
It may be a rebound for the French midfielder, whose year has been very complicated. Forfeited for the 2022 World Cup due to his knee, he missed a large number of games with Juventus. He only resumed in the second half of the season with the Bianconeri, playing 6 Serie A games, 3 in the Europa League and one in the Italian Cup. A low total of 10 meetings which did not allow him to revive physically. In addition, he ended his season prematurely with a new injury.

Suffice to say that a new adventure would not hurt him. It would especially suit the Turin club, which owns the Frenchman until 2026. A binding long-term contract given Pogba’s low playing time. Apart from the Saudis, few teams will be jostling for Paul Pogba this summer. A good Saudi offer and the case would be heard. Pogba will find it difficult to refuse a salary to match that of Ronaldo or Benzema. Nevertheless, some gray areas remain in this file. What will be the real approach of the Saudis in the transfer window for Pogba? The latter have only attracted players free of any contract for the moment, having not yet paid a transfer fee to European clubs. Finally, will Pogba sacrifice his career in the French team for the Saudi tickets? The French midfielder has always said he is attached to his career in blue, which will be in great danger if he soon arrives in the Saudi championship.
