Manchester United midfielder Paul Pogba is reportedly not interested in a move to Newcastle United, despite the Magpies willing to offer more than £300,00 a-week.

The 29-year-old is set to leave Old Trafford at the end of the season with his contract expiring.

A number of top European clubs, including Real Madrid, Juventus and Paris Saint-Germain, have shown an interest in the United star (per Sky Sports).

Newcastle are also showing an interest, with The Sun claiming he was a target for the Magpies as their revolution under Eddie Howe continues.

They have recently become the world's richest club, having been taken over by a Saudi-led consortium last October.

A number of top talent have already come to the club in January, including Bruno Guimarães for £40 million as well as Kieran Trippier for £13.5 million.

However, according to Miguel Delaney (via GeordieBootBoys) Pogba is not interested in joining the Premier League side.

Newcastle are reportedly prepared to pay the Frenchman £300,000 in weekly wages, which would smash their current wage structure.

However, Pogba can ideally be expected to join a club playing UEFA Champions League football.

He was recently interviewed by French outlet Le Figaro where he revealed his frustrations with the lack of trophies won during his time at Manchester United.

Despite rumors of interest from Juventus and Real Madrid, Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) seems the likely destination for Paul Pogba.

According to MEN, PSG have made an offer for the Frenchman to bring him back to his homeland. Pogba even commented on a potential move to the Ligue 1 champions in his interview with Le Figaro.

He told the French outlet (via The Sun):

"Why not? It’s always nice to play with your teammates in the national team and club."

Pogba rejoined Manchester United in 2016 from Juventus for a then-world-record fee of £89 million.

He has gone on to make 154 appearances for the Red Devils scoring 29 goals.

The French star may have played his last game for the club as well. He incurred a calf injury in United's demoralizing 4-0 defeat to bitter rivals Liverpool on April 19.

He has been part of a woeful Manchester United side this season. They exited all cup competitions and looking likely to miss out on Champions League qualification.

The Red Devils are currently sixth, trailing fourth-placed Arsenal by five points with three games remaining. The Gunners have also played two more games than them.
