PSG ready to offer Pogba a mega-contract
Despite an outstanding performance in Manchester United’s 5-1 demolition of Leeds last weekend, Paul Pogba’s future still hangs in the balance.
The midfielder, whose contract expires next summer, has caught Paris Saint-Germain’s interest. The Ligue 1 giants could offer him €600,000 a week in salary if he joins them on a free transfer in 2022.
Sources close to Pogba expected him to join PSG this summer until Lionel Messi’s unexpected arrival from Barcelona changed that. [Independent]
Kane to Manchester City is still on
Despite Tottenham’s attempts to hold on to their prized asset, Manchester City plan to pursue their interest.
With just over two weeks left of the transfer window, City are ready to test Spurs’ resolve. The Citizens are not prepared to spend as much as £150 million (€176m) for Harry Kane. That said, they could still break the British transfer record for a second time this summer after signing Jack Grealish from Aston Villa for £100m.
At the moment, City are prepared to go as high as £120m (€141m) plus add-ons for Kane. [ESPN]

Talks between the player and the club have been slow, prompting alleged interest from Paris Saint-Germain and Atletico Madrid. But all that appears over now, as Henderson’s priority is to stay where he is. [The Athletic – subscription required]
