PSG ready to offer monstrous wages to Manchester United star to lure him next summer - Reports

Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) are willing to offer Manchester United star Paul Pogba a huge €600,000 per week to lure him to join them next summer, according to the Independent. The Frenchman's contract with United expires next year.

PSG have always been huge admirers of Paul Pogba and are looking to take advantage of the 28-year-old midfielder's contract situation at Manchester United. The World Cup-winning star has entered the final year of his contract at Old Trafford and has so far shown no intentions of penning one.

Despite putting in one of his best performances in a Manchester United shirt against Leeds United, Paul Pogba's future at Old Trafford is still up for debate. PSG and Real Madrid have been showing interest in him this summer.

PSG wanted to sign Pogba this summer. But the arrival of Lionel Messi at the Parc des Princes has changed the scenario in the French capital. PSG are now ready to possibly sign the 28-year-old midfielder on a free transfer next summer.

PSG can afford to pay such monstrous wages to a player arriving on a free transfer as there is no transfer fee attached to the player. The Parisians did the same when they signed Ander Herrera from Manchester United in the summer of 2019.

Manchester United will try to tie down Paul Pogba's contract amid interest from PSG and Real Madrid

Despite interest from PSG and Real Madrid, Manchester United are set to try yet again to get Paul Pogba to sign a new deal. According to Italian journalist Fabrizio Romano, the Red Devils are currently in talks with Pogba's agent Mino Raiola but there has not been any agreement as of now.

Manchester United are in danger of losing their prized asset for free next summer after having paid a club record £89 million for the Frenchman in the summer of 2016.

As things stand, Paul Pogba is set to remain as a Manchester United player for the 2021-22 season. The midfielder has had an amazing start to the new season. He registered four assists as the Red Devils beat rivals Leeds United 5-1 in their opening Premier League fixture. He became only the seventh player in Premier League history to achieve this feat.
