Manchester City are reportedly considering a surprise move for free agent Paul Pogba as they aim to strengthen their midfield options.
Paul Pogba is poised to make his return to football in 2025 when his 18-month ban concludes in March. After Juventus terminated his contract, the French midfielder is now a free agent. Amid ongoing speculation about his future, The Independent reports that Manchester City, the current Premier League champions, are exploring the possibility of a surprise move for Pogba.
The Cityzens, facing a challenging 2024/25 campaign, are keen to strengthen their squad. With Ballon d’Or-winning midfielder Rodri sidelined due to a ruptured ACL earlier in the season, Manchester City is actively searching for midfielders who can fill the void left by their influential Spanish star.
The report also suggests that Pogba may be hesitant to return to the Premier League, particularly to Manchester City, given his previous experience with their fierce rivals, Manchester United.
The 31-year-old World Cup winner has not yet revealed his next club. The France international has been heavily linked with a potential return to France, where he could reunite with former Manchester United teammate Mason Greenwood at Marseille.
