The France international has just one year left for his contract with the Red Devils amid recent ties to Paris Saint-Germain. Speaking at a press conference on Thursday, Pogba said there had been no “concrete offer” from United on a new contract.
Sources previously told ESPN that the club feared he would exhaust his contract and go on a free transfer next summer. If that happens, Manchester United could find ways to recoup some of the initial £ 94.5million for their first transfer from Juventus in 2016.
Dybala, 27, would only be used for a move to Old Trafford if his own contract negotiations with Juventus fail. The forward’s deal expires in 2022, which means any failure to reach an agreement on an extension could see the player leave before the club lose him in a free transfer.
Ronaldo, 36, is linked with a return to Manchester after a tough end to the Serie A season. The swap deal between the Portuguese captain and Pogba could be beneficial to both, as United would not have to spend without losing Pogba. For Juventus, a decision would find Massimiliano Allegri midfield while reducing payroll while Pogba earns a little less than half that of Ronaldo.
PAPER TRADE
– Football initiate reports that Serge Aurier have agreed personal terms with PSG before moving away from Tottenham Hotspur this summer. The 28-year-old has been linked with a return to the French capital with an extension of his current contract, which ends in 2022, which is highly unlikely. The right-back has previously played under PSG boss Mauricio Pochettino during his time at Spurs with the two clubs likely to reach a fee deal due to the year remaining on his contract.
– Danny Rose concluded a two-year agreement to join Watford, according Athleticism. The 30-year-old was recently released by Tottenham but a path back to the Premier League has become available as part of a move to the newly promoted squad. Rose spent 14 years at Spurs, including a loan at Vicarage Road in 2009 and 29 caps for England during his tenure.
– AS Roma was able to see the exits of Justin Kluivert and Cengiz Sous this summer as Jose Mourinho is forced to let the players before signing some of his own. Gazzetta dello Sport reports that Mourinho is keen to judge both players in person before making a decision. Under, 23, returns to Rome after a disappointing loan spell at Leicester City, making just nine Premier League appearances. Kluivert, 22, also spent his time away from Italy at RB Leipzig, but only made 19 appearances with four goals.
– Internazionale is interested in the Sassuolo striker Giacomo Raspadori, according to Corriere dello Sport with interest also from the best teams in La Liga. The 21-year-old is touted as a possible Lautaro Martinez replacement if he leaves the Nerazzurri. However, Inter would not be alone in their best interests for the player. Barcelona, Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid are also said to have an eye on his development in the coming weeks. The forward recently made his debut for Italy ahead of the European Championships after returning from nine goals in 27 Serie A appearances this season.
– Atletico Madrid want to sign Rodrigo De Paul should they lose Saul this summer according to Sports world. Diego Simeone’s team must move players this summer before strengthening. Saul, 26, has been linked with many top European clubs. Likewise, De Paul, 27, has also been linked with some top clubs this summer following an impressive campaign for Udinese in Serie A. However, both clubs appear to be apart in ratings. While Atletico have offered 20 million pounds, Udinese held for nearly 40 million pounds.
