Paul Pogba eyes Premier League return amid interest from Cristiano Ronaldo's Al Nassr and Lionel Messi's Inter Miami - Reports
Paul Pogba wants a return to England amid interest from Cristiano Ronaldo's Al Nassr and Lionel Messi's Inter Miami. The French icon's contract with Juventus will be terminated by mutual consent at the end of November.
Pogba hasn't appeared for the Bianconeri since April this year. He tested positive for an illegal substance and received a four-year ban. However, his sentence was reduced to 18 months after a successful appeal at the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS).
The Frenchman will be able to resume his football career in March, but it won't be at Juventus. Multiple clubs, including Al-Nassr, are eyeing his situation with interest.
Cristiano Ronaldo has already played with Pogba at Manchester United. The Portuguese is ready to welcome his former teammate to the Middle East.
Meanwhile, Inter Miami are also hoping to get their hands on Paul Pogba. The player has previously professed his love for Lionel Messi and the Herons are hoping that the Argentinian can lure him to the MLS.
However, the Frenchman wants to return to the Premier League and his entourage has reached out to multiple clubs in the country already. While a move to a top team may not materialize, Aston Villa, Bournemouth, and West Ham United have been named as possible destinations.
