£89m MAN OFFERED TO PSG

- By CHRIS WHEELER

PAUL POGBA has been offered to Paris Saint-Germain by his agent as Manchester United’s record signing considers his options. Sportsmail revealed yesterday that Jose Mourinho is prepared to let Pogba go this summer just two years after the Frenchman returned to Old Trafford from Juventus for £89million. Pogba has struggled to live up to expectatio­ns and his relationsh­ip with Mourinho has grown increasing­ly fractious in recent months. Pep Guardiola revealed earlier this month that Mino Raiola offered Pogba to Manchester City in January, and the agent has also made contact with PSG over the possibilit­y of a summer move. It is unclear if the French club would be able to sign Pogba while facing allegation­s of breaching UEFA’s Financial Fair Play rules over their acquisitio­n of

Neymar and Kylian Mbappe for a

combined £365m. Real Madrid and Barcelona are two other options, but there has been little interest from Spain. That would leave City, Chelsea and possibly Juventus among the clubs able to afford Pogba’s transfer fee and personal terms. The 25-year-old earns more than £200,000 a week. United’s hierarchy would prefer not to sell Pogba this summer because they already have to sign two central midfielder­s to replace Michael Carrick and Marouane Fellaini. United had scouts in Austria last week to watch Lazio’s Sergej Milinkovic­Savic in Europa League action against Red Bull Leipzig. FIFA charged World Cup hosts Russia with fan racism yesterday. Racist chants were aimed at black France players, including Pogba, during a 3-1 friendly win in St Petersburg last month.
