Mino Raiola names possible destination for Paul Pogba

Mino Raiola has named a possible destination for Paul Pogba as he looks set to leave Manchester United in the near future.

Before the match against RB Leipzig, Mino Raiola dropped a transfer bombshell by claiming that Paul Pogba wanted to leave Manchester United and advised them to let him leave in the near future. Of course, this must have been a distraction for the team heading into one of the biggest games of their season.

The match turned out to be a disappointing one for the Red Devils, losing 3-2 which resulted in them dropping down to the Europa League.

The club were doing well in the first few games of their Champions League campaign but things took a turn for the worse after losing to Istanbul Basaksehir. They lost their last two group stage games as well, when they needed just a solitary point to qualify for the knockout phase.

Returning to the topic of the Frenchman though, when a question was raised about Pogba’s future, with reports linking him with Spanish giants Real Madrid, Raiola hinted that a return to Juventus may be on the cards. As reported by the Express, the agent said:

"“Yes, Paul Pogba can come back to Juventus. He’s not happy at Manchester United.”"

Rumours have surfaced recently that Real Madrid has pulled out of any possible move for the Frenchman in the upcoming January transfer window. And Juventus might be his most likely destination, the club were he made a name for himself as one of the best midfielders in Europe.

If Pogba does decide to join Juventus in January or next summer, it will be the second time the Frenchman will be leaving United to join the Italian giants. And to be very honest, it has always looked like he is more suited to the Serie A than he is to the Premier League. It will be interesting to see what kind of deal they are willing to offer for the Frenchman.
