There is a flurry of courtship for superstar Paul Pogba.
Mike McGrath, a reporter working for the British Telegraph, said on his personal SNS on the 14th (Korea time) that clubs from various countries, including Saudi Arabia, Germany, France, Spain, and the United States, are showing interest in Pogba. U.S. clubs must first buy 'Discovery Rights' from DC United for negotiations. The World Cup-winning midfielder, who has gone through Manchester United and Juventus, is available on free agency next season, and the recruitment race can be won by anyone" he said.
Pogba is now a world-class midfielder who has fallen by all time but was undeniable in his prime. In 2015, he was named the FIFA FIFPro World Best Eleven and became the best player in the world. He grew up in Manchester United, but became a world class at Juventus, and often showed his true value even after returning to Manchester United. It peaked again when it led France to victory at the 2018 World Cup in Russia.
Pogba, who did, is now a player who does not even have a team. Pogba, who left Manchester United for Juventus, tested positive for testosterone in a doping test in September 2023. The Anti-Doping Tribunal imposed a four-year suspension on Pogba. Juventus immediately terminated Pogba's contract. The four-year ban was effectively a retirement notice given Pogba's age.
Pogba then appealed to the Court of Arbitration for Sport and succeeded in reducing the punishment to one and a half years. Since March last year, Pogba has now been able to sign with other clubs. Since then, Pogba has not signed with another team, and plans to start again from the 2025-2026 season.
ESPN reported "Pogba has decided to take time to select his next club and is unlikely to sign anywhere until the end of the season. He is prioritizing his return to one of the European big leagues. Pogba is looking for clubs in Europe to join the 2026 World Cup squad in France and thinks it's the best way to find a club that can go to the European Champions League (UCL) or Europa League (UEL)" he once said.
Germany's Sky Sports reported that Pogba is building his body in Miami, USA, and is considering moving to the US or Saudi Arabia. Pogba's destination has not been decided yet, but it is expected that his destination will be decided soon because the season will be completed soon.

Meanwhile, did Jesse Lingard, his best friend during his time at Manchester United, not work. Lingard selected Pogba as the player he wanted to bring to the K League on the opening media day ahead of the 2025 season. Lingard recently showed off his friendship by posting an image of communicating with Pogba on social media, but Pogba's trip to Korea did not take place. It was a near impossible transfer from the beginning.
