There has been a new offer from the Saudis for Paul Pogba. Al-Ahly have reportedly put up 100 million plus bonuses over three years. But the Arabs also demand physical guarantees from the Frenchman.
Juventus are waiting and hoping the deal can materialise. In reality, the profit for the bianconeri would be small: the Saudis would pay around 10 million for Paul Pogba’s card. But the Bianconeri aim above all to get rid of the high salary of a player, who has never given any guarantees from a physical point of view.
For the same reason, Al-Ahly want certainties before spending over 100 million euros. This was also confirmed by TeamFootball.fr journalist Thibaud Vézirian, who spoke to the microphones of calciomercato.it, broadcast on the Twitch TVPLAY channel.
“In my opinion Pogba will leave Juventus,” announced Thibaud Vézirian. “I got this information from friends in Saudi Arabia. And they have heard from reliable sources that Pogba will go to Arabia: the Saudis have almost convinced him. His agent, however, doesn’t want to say anything. He must first regain his condition, as last year he was in fact not a footballer. He has to recover first… “
“Pogba hesitates, but 100 million for three years is interesting. Obviously the boy is reflecting,’ the journalist continued. The problem, apart from the physical condition, lies in the high demands of Pimenta, Pogba’s attorney.
100 million from the Saudis for Pogba: ‘Pimenta is asking 150’

“Pimenta is a great agent and knows how to move. In fact he is now asking 150 million. The offer was there, but in practice Pogba’s entourage wants to ask for even more. The Saudis, before making the proposal, wanted to know what Pogba’s conditions were. He’s a superstar… they like him because he’s a well-known character. But they don’t want a player who is not able to play. “
“Last year there were a lot of problems in Pogba’s family, and I don’t know if there is a need for him to go out,” the interviewee said again. “He no longer has the same body, he has many injuries behind him and he is no longer the same footballer who won the World Cup. I don’t think he will ever again be a footballer capable of playing every three days.”
“Football is first in the head and then in the body,” the journalist concluded. “Pogba’s body does not follow the head, in my opinion he can no longer play at a high level, at the top. I don’t think he will return to the national team. There are Tchouameni, Camavinga and Thuram in the same role as him… His character is not a problem when he makes a difference, but there are too many superstars in France. Mbappé, Benzema… This also creates problems for the sponsors. “
