‘POGBA WILL BE GOOD ADDITION TO PSG’

PARIS: Paris Saint-germain midfielder Marco Verratti on Wednesday said Paul Pogba would be a great addition to the club, adding it is “easier” to play alongside players of the calibre of the Manchester United star.

Abiding by their financial situation with UEFA financial fair play (FFP), PSG could make a move for the former Juventus man. “I think that it is normal that all major players want to join PSG because there is a big project here, unlike most in Europe, with an incredible team and in an incredible city,” Verratti said.

“Those who come will always be welcome but also must give their best.”
