Paul Pogba Has Been Offered A Three-Year, €100 Million Deal By Al-Ittihad

Paul Pogba has reportedly been offered a three-year, €100 million (£85.6m) deal by Al-Ittihad to move to Saudi Arabia.

The Frenchman becomes the latest player to be targetted by the Saudi Arabian side following their massive signing of top-class players.

Al-Ittihad already signed N’Golo Kante from Chelsea, and Ballon d’Or winner Karim Benzema from Real Madrid.

They are looking to add Pogba to the list alongside other footballers that have been enticed to the Kingdom this summer.

Recent reports have it that Pogba visited Al-Ittihad’s training facility during his most recent trip to Saudi Arabia.

Paul Pogba was also asked in a viral video if he was keen on a move to Saudi Arabia, his response left Juventus fans unsure about the Frenchman’s future at the club.

As you can see in the video shared by Futballnews on Twitter, Pogba said: “I don’t know if you will be able to see me in the Saudi league. Not today… we don’t know tomorrow.”

He was asked if he was joining Al-Ittihad or Al-Ahly, and Pogba responded with a smirk saying: “We don’t know, we’ll see.”

Paul Pogba failed to score a single goal last season as he spent much of his time on the sidelines due to knee and muscle problems.

Juventus fans have not been happy with Pogba after he featured in one match against Cremonese on May 14, 2023, the day he got injured again.

Sources close to the Frenchman claimed that his journey to Saudi Arabia was solely for religious reasons as a practicing Muslim.

Paul Pogba on his personal Instagram account shared an image as he posed for a selfie in Mecca as part of his annual pilgrimage.

Though there has not been information about the offer for the Frenchman, Juventus are open to selling the midfielder.

The World Cup winner with France in 2018 rejoined Juventus on a free transfer in July 2022 after his contract at Man United expired.

His return to Turin was marred with several injuries as he only managed 10 appearances in all competitions, totaling 172 minutes – fewer than two full matches.

Just after he returned to Juventus, the midfielder picked up a knee injury keeping him out for two months, was dropped in March for disciplinary reasons, before making his first start in May.

Recall we also reported that he was subbed off after 23 minutes following a thigh injury which ruled him out for the rest of the campaign.

Should Paul Pogba agree to join the Saudi team, he will be reunited with two of his fellow countrymen in Benzema and Kante.

Paul Labile Pogba, a French professional football player who plays for both the France national team and Juventus, was born on March 15, 1993.

He typically plays in the center of midfield, but he can also be used as a left winger, attacking midfielder, defensive midfielder, or deep-lying playmaker.

Pogba, who was raised in Lagny-sur-Marne, first joined the Ligue 2 club Le Havre’s youth program in 2007. Two years later, a drawn-out transfer process led him to Manchester United.

Limited opportunities forced him to leave Manchester United two years after starting his professional career there. He joined Juventus on a free transfer in 2012.

There, he helped the team win four straight Serie A championships as well as two Coppa Italia and two Supercoppa Italiana championships.

Pogba solidified his position as one of the most promising young players in the world during his time in Italy, where he also won the Golden Boy Award in 2013 and the Bravo Award in 2014.

After guiding Juventus to their first UEFA Champions League Final in 12 years in 2015, Pogba was nominated to the 2015 UEFA Team of the Year and the 2015 FIFA FIFPro World XI in 2016.
