Al-Ittihad join AS Monaco in race to sign Paul Pogba: Report

The Saudi club are set to rival a French side for the midfielder.

From the Saudi Pro League, Al-Ittihad in particular have been a formidable contender as they prepare themselves to sign Paul Pogba as per reports.

There has been some initial contact, even though the club haven’t made an official offer yet, mostly because they don’t currently have a sporting director. This implies that Al-Ittihad are giving careful thought to a move that might influence Pogba’s choice in the days ahead.

The football community eagerly awaits Paul Pogba’s next move as he considers his options as a free agent with an impressive resume. In addition to changing Pogba’s career trajectory, this transfer will have an impact on the strategic plans of the teams competing for his services.

As he considers the next exciting phase of his football career, Paul Pogba, the brilliant 32-year-old French midfield maestro, is once again causing a stir in the transfer market.

Paul Pogba is still looking to join an ideal club

Despite the keen eyes and open arms of multiple teams, Pogba is without a club after being cleared to play following a difficult 18-month doping ban.

Olympique de Marseille have been the subject of constant rumours regarding the former Manchester United and Juventus player on the European scene.

However, AS Monaco presently dominates the bargaining race and have taken control of the show. They have been in negotiations with Pogba for more than two weeks, with the hope that they could be the ones to get his legendary signature.

Pogba’s four-year doping penalty was shortened to 18 months in March, allowing him to resume playing football. He was permitted to return to the field. But the player hasn’t found a new team yet.

The former Manchester United and Juventus player, who is available on a free transfer, has been constantly linked to a move to Olympique de Marseille. But AS Monaco, their Ligue 1 rivals, took the initiative instead.
