Today there is very little chance of seeing Paul Pogba at PSG next season. The midfielder is in all likelihood to remain at Manchester United for the 2021-2022 fiscal year. The French club and the player were however very tempted by a marriage. As we revealed on June 18, Paris intended to position themselves on the world champion, one year from the end of his contract in England. He has indeed taken the temperature, helped in this by the excellent relations between Leonardo, the sports director, and Mino Raiola, the agent of the native of Seine-et-Marne. According to our information, Pogba was immensely seduced by the Parisian challenge and would have welcomed a transfer.
For a movement, you have to agree between three parties.
And this is where the folder hangs and should continue to stay locked.
Manchester United refuses to negotiate.
The Mancuniens want to keep their international tricolor at a time when they have just dramatically strengthened their workforce with the arrivals of Jadon Sancho and Raphaël Varane for 135 million euros.
Manchester City and Chelsea are also recruiting, or will be doing so soon, and competition looks set to be fierce in the Premier League.
MU therefore does not intend to cede Pogba.
Mercato: the arrival of Messi at PSG can it revive the Mbappé file at Real?

Despite the player's desire to join Paris and the club's desire to welcome him, PSG made no offer to the English to try to exfiltrate the star, very close to Presnel Kimpembe in the France team. Parisian leaders have never interacted directly with their English counterparts. Despite still several days of transfer window, the possibility of an opening of the talks seems slim. Focused on the arrival of Lionel Messi, with all the club teams concerned mobilized to prepare for the arrival of the best player in the world, PSG does not have in its plans to go on the attack in the Pogba case soon. All the more so, as we wrote on Tuesday, that the former element of Juventus Turin is expensive, with a Manchester who claims at least 75 million euros to release him from his last year of contract.
If the affair is not concluded, Paris will remain attentive to the rest of the soap opera. For now, Paul Pogba has not extended. If he had to go to the end of his commitment without renewing it - a strong trend among players in recent seasons - Paris will return to the charge in the summer of 2022. He has just proved that he was a bit of the world champion to convince free footballers after the signatures of Georginio Wijnaldum, Sergio Ramos or Gianluigi Donnarumma, while of course awaiting the incredible Leo Messi operation. Next summer, a few months before the World Cup in Qatar, Pogba's arrival at PSG would fit into a perfect schedule.
