Manchester United boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has ascertained that Paul Pogba is in discussions over a new contract, amid stirring transfer rumours.
Pogba has never been far from exit belief at Old Trafford since signing in 2016. However, such talk has ramped up further now because he is closer to his contract expiring. Indeed, he has reached the final year of his deal and it remains ambiguous if he will extend or seek a new challenge.
Although, reports claim that Pogba has rejected the offer of a new contract.
Paris Saint-Germain has therefore arisen as a possible suitor, but seemingly do not want to pay United’s £50million valuation.
Speaking after Saturday’s 4-2 pre-season defeat to Queens Park Rangers, Solskjaer communicated the situation.
He told the Manchester Evening News: “Talks are ongoing between Paul’s representative and the club representatives all the dialogue I’ve had with Paul is that he’s looking forward to the season.
“There’s always speculation about Paul, the talks between Paul and his representatives.
“I’m not in the detail of every single one, I’ve got nothing to say really, about that.
“There’s always speculation about Paul and always clubs being interested and we’ve seen Paul at his best.
“Paul knows what we feel about it and I’ve enjoyed my time working with him and hopefully we can continue working together.”
Pogba is still on holiday after starring at Euro 2020 for France and so did not feature in Saturday’s loss to QPR.
