Why Man Utd may not extend Pogba’s contract

With the summer transfer window weeks away from commencement, Man Utd midfielder, Paul Pogba has once again been linked with moves away from the club.

Like in the past, Pogba has been linked with moves to Real Madrid and Juventus.

With the reports already claiming the two clubs are ready to make move for him this summer, it is however uncertain if they will be able to afford the high price Man Utd could value the French midfielder.

Real Madrid for one would not be able to afford an expensive transfer fee for Pogba as their finances have been affected.

With Pogba having just 12 months to go in his current contract with the Red Devils, the club have stated that the French international wouldn’t be allowed to hold the club to a ransom.

According to The Mirror, Man United want Pogba to sign a new deal, but the 20-time English champions are wary of giving in to the Frenchman’s agent Mino Raiola when it comes to wage demands.

The report claimed that the 28-year-old’s agent wants a deal worth over £400,000 a week, and the club’s board are currently weighing up whether the deal would represent value for money.

Man Utd coach, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is however keen on keeping Pogba at Old Trafford.
