Paul Pogba wants to return to the Premier League

Paul Pogba wants a return to England amid interest from Cristiano Ronaldo's Al Nassr and Lionel Messi's Inter Miami. The French icon's contract with Juventus will be terminated by mutual consent at the end of November.

Pogba hasn't appeared for the Bianconeri since April this year. He tested positive for an illegal substance and received a four-year ban. However, his sentence was reduced to 18 months after a successful appeal at the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS).

The Frenchman will be able to resume his football career in March, but it won't be at Juventus. Multiple clubs, including Al-Nassr, are eyeing his situation with interest.

Cristiano Ronaldo has already played with Pogba at Manchester United. The Portuguese is ready to welcome his former teammate to the Middle East.

Meanwhile, Inter Miami are also hoping to get their hands on Paul Pogba. The player has previously professed his love for Lionel Messi and the Herons are hoping that the Argentinian can lure him to the MLS.

However, the Frenchman wants to return to the Premier League and his entourage has reached out to multiple clubs in the country already. While a move to a top team may not materialize, Aston Villa, Bournemouth, and West Ham United have been named as possible destinations.

Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi's record in world football might be impossible to match in the coming years. While both superstars are in the twilight of their careers, they have shown no signs of slowing down.

The Portuguese legend has scored 10 goals and set up three more from 15 games across competitions for Al-Nassr this season. The Argentinean captain, meanwhile, has registered 23 goals and 13 assists from 25 games across competitions for Inter Miami this campaign.

Cristiano Ronaldo's contract with the Saudi club expires at the end of this season and he hasn't signed a new deal. However, a renewal is expected soon.

The 39-year-old, meanwhile, has registered 769 goals and 241 assists from 1028 appearances in club football. That includes stints with Sporting, Manchester United, Real Madrid, Juventus, and Al-Nassr.

Lionel Messi's contract will also expire at the end of next year and it is unclear whether he will continue with Inter Miami. The 37-year-old has scored 738 goals and set up 356 more from 892 games for Barcelona, Paris Saint-Germain (PSG), and the Herons.
