PSG To Offer Former Napoli Hero For Juventus’ Pogba

Paris Saint Germain could use striker Edinson Cavani as a makeweight to allow the signing of Juventus starlet Paul Pogba.

The Uruguayan striker is reportedly looking to leave PSG due to being played out of position and the French outfit could use this to their advantage to acquire the services of Pogba.

This comes from reports according to Tuttosport and the Parisian club president Nasser Al-Khelaifi wants to make Pogba a symbol of the club.

The Ligue 1 leaders have apparently said that they would be willing to pay upwards of €60 million for the French international.

It is also suggested that the Bianconeri would accept a fee considerably less than the rumoured fee of €60m, but such an approach would still involve the forward’s transfer fees and wage demands.

The reason the striker wants to leave is due to being played on the wing in Laurent Blanc’s current 4-3-3 formation choice as opposed to Cavani’s preferred 4-4-2 position through the middle which would require less defensive responsibilities according to L’Equipe.

“We’ll wait until the season is over and then we’ll look into this more. But we have to finish the season first,’’ he said.

“I am in still in Paris, but there are certainly things we must talk about with the club, things should be done differently.”

It is clear that both PSG and Juventus will have to wait until their respective seasons come to a close before turning this rumour into reality
