Pogba at Manchester City is not a joke. Miguel Delaney from The Independent reported that the Cityzens really want to solve the problem of Rodri’s injury with the French midfielder, who can be signed for exactly £0 as a free agent
Paul Pogba’s tumultuous career may be on the verge of another stunning turn. Following a ban for testing positive for a prohibited substance and the mutual termination of his contract at Juventus, Pogba is eligible to resume training in January and competitive play in March.
Manchester City have emerged as a potential suitor, with manager Pep Guardiola reportedly harboring interest in the 31-year-old midfielder since his departure from Manchester United in 2022. Initially, Pogba faced a four-year ban, which seemed to signal the end of his top-tier football career. However, his sanction was reduced on appeal, and City’s recent slump has coincided with his impending return.
In a surprising revelation, Pogba disclosed in October that he had considered joining Manchester City before opting for Juventus due to personal circumstances. Guardiola had identified Pogba as a potential replacement for captain Fernandinho. With Rodri facing a lengthy injury layoff and City struggling in both the Premier League and Champions League, the mutual interest between Pogba and Manchester City may be rekindled.
Former Manchester City player Shaun Wright-Phillips has endorsed Pogba’s potential return to Manchester, this time to the Etihad Stadium. As Pogba prepares to resume his career, a move to Manchester City would undoubtedly be a shocking yet intriguing development.
