Six figure offer from Saudi Arabia for Pogba
Al-Ahli has already informed his agent of the proposal. Juve would ask for 10 million to release the midfielder, who barely played last year.
After a season without any prominence (barely 10 appearances), Paul Pogba could leave Juventus for the second time in his career. Yesterday, the Frenchman returned to Turin after a trip to Jeddah for personal reasons which, however, also entailed professional reasons. The midfielder, according to La Gazzetta dello Sport, has begun to make contacts in the Middle East which could soon become his new home.
Al-Ahli is ready to put on the table the umpteenth offer - one that is simply too good to refuse in this Saudi Arabian market: 100 million euros net for the next three years. Pogba’s agent Rafaela Pimenta has already received the offer. Meanwhile, the club wants to have guarantees about the physical state of the player, who barely totalled 161 minutes on the pitch last season.
The Frenchman is still not 100% convinced and Juve, for their part, would try to take advantage of the operation. A year ago, Pogba signed a four-year contract with a salary of around 8 million net: the Vecchia Signora would ask for a figure of around 10 million to release him. It would be an important capital gain seeing as Pogba joined as a free agent a year ago and would be a huge boost for the club’s balance sheet, with the player with the most expensive salary in the squad off their their books. Everything will depend on Al-Ahli and how Pogba feels about moving on to the next stage in his career. In principle, the 30-year-old thinks he’s not ready to leave top-level football at this point in his career. But that has a solution - he might find some consolation in those 100 million euros...
