Hello and welcome to the EPL transfer news roundup for the day! Here are the top stories of the day surrounding the Premier League!
Raiola hints at Pogba exit
Mino Raiola, the agent of Paul Pogba, has hinted towards his client leaving the Old Trafford in the summer. The Frenchman has had a disappointing campaign thus far as he has had to spend most of his time on the sidelines.
Amidst all this, he is also being linked with a move out of the club and Raiola put more fuel to the fire, suggesting that United have not been able to keep up with Pogba's ambition, which is why they are going to evaluate everything in the summer.
"But I saw him go back to Manchester United when people did not think he would go back. People tend to forget that. People tend to imagine that Manchester United was the only club that he could have signed for. He chose Manchester United," he said.
"Everybody knows the ambition from both parts is not being met the last years. Let's be honest, let's talk about the elephant in the room. So, we need to see in the summer if Paul is still in the plans of Manchester United and if Manchester United is still in the plans of Paul."
