Pogback. For weeks, Juventus Turin has used and abused this hashtag on social networks to celebrate the return of the French midfielder, 6 years after his departure for Manchester United. It must be said that the Turin club then thought it had struck a blow by stealing its former player under the nose and beard of other European clubs, free of any contract.
To achieve this, Juve dropped a salary of € 8 million per season, but also their hopes very quickly. Affected during the preseason, the French midfielder tried everything to be available for the World Cup, to the detriment of his club. And he finished the season with 10 small appearances in total. So disappointing that Juve are ready to let him slip away in Saudi Arabia, as we explained to you this morning.
Al-Ahli pushes hard
There Gazzetta dello Sport reveals new details, and assures that despite the denials of the Pogba clan, there is indeed an offer, coming from Al-Ahli and not from Al-Ittihad, with a 3-year contract and a sum of 100M€ excluding bonus to convince the player. Because that’s where it all comes down to. Juve are willing to give him up, and are only asking for a transfer of €10m from Al-Ahli.
It remains to be seen what Paul Pogba will decide. Leaving through the back door of Juventus and jeopardizing the rest of his adventure in the France team? He has Euro 2024 in his sights. If he heard his coach Didier Deschamps say that he was watching closely what is happening in Saudi Arabia, he knows that the competitiveness is even less great there. And he already has some catching up to do following the outbreak of Camavinga and Tchouameni, and the confirmation of Rabiot. After having favored, without success, the Blues in his recovery process, will Pogba do the same on the field of the transfer window?
