A surprising trade for Paul Pogba could be in the works between Manchester City and their archrivals at Manchester United. If Pogba were to become a free agent this summer, would Manchester City be interested in signing him?

After six frustrating years with Manchester United, the Frenchman who won the World Cup is getting ready to depart the club at the end of this month.Sunsport reported on Friday that City are seeking for a new central midfielder following the departure of club captain Fernandinho. Although PSG and Juventus are still the most likely destinations for the 29-year-old, PSG and Juventus are still the most likely destinations for him.

And they are considering monitoring Pogba’s situation in the coming weeks. If Pogba comes to City he will play alongside Borussia Dortmund striker Erling Haaland, who is expected to move to the Etihad this summer.Man City once entered the race to sign Pogba from Juventus in 2016, but withdrew due to financial problems related to this deal.

When Pogba injured his calf against Liverpool last month, caretaker manager Ralf Rangnick suggested he might have played his last game for the club.But Pogba later posted on social media that it was “not over”.Man City will not be able to officially finalize the transfer until he becomes a free agent on July 1.
