JAKARTA – Paul Pogba will leave Manchester United on a free transfer when his contract expires at the end of this month. As reported by BBC Sport, the news has been confirmed by the Red Devils.
"It was a humble end to a career at [Manchester] United that brought so many individual moments," the Old Trafford club said in a statement.
Pogba made Manchester United break the world record when returning him from Juventus in 2016. At that time MU had to spend 89 million pounds (Rp 1.6 trillion).
The 29-year-old made 27 appearances in his last season due to frequent injuries. Reportedly, Pogba's contract was not extended by United because he was not included in the plans of new coach Erik ten Hag.
So far it is not known which club the France international will join. However, Juventus is called the leading club who wants to get the services of their former player.
According to reports circulating, the Old Lady has offered a contract worth 10 million euros (Rp 155 billion) for three seasons. An agreement between the two parties has reportedly been reached and will be announced in the near future.
Apart from Juventus, the 2018 World Cup winner Russia has also been linked with a number of other elite teams. These include Paris Saint-Germain and Manchester City. However, it is somewhat impossible that he will move to the Etihad Stadium because of his status as a former MU player and a dropout from the club's academy.
