With his latest dramatic transfer value decrease, Paul Pogba could be on his way out of Manchester United with a number of destinations.
Even though we believed Paul Pogba could leave Manchester United for free in the winter, his market value can still make his club ask for a hefty price. As of right now, the club’s current situation is pushing Paul to start looking for a new club where he can continue his brilliant career. As a Red Devil, he already won the League Cup and the Europa League in 2017 under Jose Mourinho. Recent arrivals gave him a less prominent role at the club because the board could sniff something was off from the player.
Agent Mino Raiola has been looking for a new destination during the last couple of years with no fortune. We have to also count Pogba’s serious injury he suffered last season, which hindered his performances for the majority of the year. United brought Bruno Fernandes knowing that Paul would need a long time to recover and use him as a top-class replacement. Now that they have a perfect suitor for that position, it’s clear that Pogba’s role in the squad is no longer the same.
Paul’s dramatic transfer value decrease.
Due to all the reasons we just listed, Paul Pogba’s value has dramatically decreased in the last year. Just to have a perspective. When he arrived at Manchester United from Juventus, his price was €110 million. That was a world record in 2016, which happened right around the time France lost the European Championship final. From that moment until today, Transfermarkt can confirm that Paul’s current value sits at €80 million.
However, his contract ending soon might downgrade the price another €20 million for any club that wants to buy him. This means Real Madrid would only have to pay €60 million for one of the best midfielders in the world. Such a low price for Paul Pogba is also an invitation for other clubs to make even bigger offers and start a bidding war for him. We can bet Juventus and PSG have something to say about this.
