It is surprising to me how Paul Pogba found Juventus as a home more than Manchester United. He was first a Man U boy before he went to Juventus.
That's true. But Manchester United didn't trust him enough to offer him a professional contract. They wanted to keep him playing with a youth contract. Juventus made him a professional footballer when MAN U decided not to. A lot of that is also down to the former Mino Raiola who had good relationships with the Juventus board, especially with Nedved who was an ex client of his.

I think both Pogba and Di Maria to Juventus are done deals.

Several journalists and sources close to the club are reporting that everything has been agreed. Based on the information that is available, Pogba has a financially better offer from PSG, but he turned it down. I guess the player knows deep down that he should have never left Juventus for financial reasons. Juve is the only club he performed at and where he was happy playing football. Hopefully we can see more of the same next season. If what is being written is true, his salary will be cut by 50% at Juventus.

Di Maria is a veteran but still in great form. All sources suggest he will only sign for one year with the possibility to extend for another year. He is the type of player Juventus doesn't have currently. An offensive midfielder capable of collecting double digit assists per season.
It is surprising to me how Paul Pogba found Juventus as a home more than Manchester United. He was first a Man U boy before he went to Juventus. Though he was sensational at Juventus, that should not mean he is of Juventus. Pogba throughout his career in Manchester United was never consistent. He didn't see himself as a future legend of Manchester United. He owes allegiance to Juventus, so I won't be surprised to know that he will go for pay cut there instead of a better Salary at Psg.

As for Di Maria, I wish him well. He is the type of player that is always committed anytime any pitch.

One thing I don't understand about Barcelona is why they'd want Lewandowski in preference to getting Messi back again. Messi didn't want to leave Barca, and is clearly not doing well in Paris. If you're going to pay huge wages for an ageing star, why not get the one you know?
Because Messi would want a lot more money? Lewandowski is a great player and I love him, I would prefer him over Messi right now, but Messi has been a bigger name for many years now. So, if you get Messi, even if he plays bad, he would bring you profit, you could pay him 30-40 million a year and he would make 100 or more million in jersey sales alone, which is a great deal for any team.

But, since Barcelona doesn't look at the profit (doesn't matter even if they wanted to) and simply look at the salary (which is capped, hence the trouble) they are looking at a smaller salary earner and they believe Lewa would cost a lot less in salary.

It is very strange to discuss Messi compared to Lewandowski. Messi is already a thing of the past, even in the farm league he could not only improve his statistics, but at least stay at the previous level. While Lewandowski sets record after record. Barcelona must get out of the crisis and it needs good players, not "names". If it hangs out in the middle of the standings, then no T-shirt sales will simply happen.

Kylian Mbappe's next club should definitely be Real Madrid at this point. Because as I said before, he has always dreamed of playing for Real Madrid for many years. This is the greatest opportunity he can have
I guess that we will see him in Real Madrid the coming season , and if not maybe the nest one.
But he will join there at some time , its just a matter of time and also money.
If PSG will pay him much its possible that he will stay another season there as all the other players too.
but if he stays at PSG maybe in this case it will also have an impact on his career later.
We know that his abilities are extraordinary but until now I still feel that PSG is not a club that can accommodate Mbappe. especially if talking about Haaland now who has started his movement it would be very good if he too now had to start a new adventure in a new team as well.
According to a news report PSG had been taking steps to keep Mbappe, his wages was reportedly doubled to the tune of earning €4 million monthly making him the highest paid football in the world apart that, there are other juicy contract offered to him in the bid to keep him, PSG owner Shielk Nasser Al-Khelaifi is fully involved in a bid to retain Mbappe, however it's up to him whether to sign for Real Madrid and accept a lower wage or stay at PSG and enjoy his bumper and juicy packages, the next few days Mbappe will make an announcement of his next move.

it will be very interesting to wait, what decision will be taken by Kylian Mbappe, PSG really really want to keep Kylian Mbappe, they make every effort with a fantastic salary and also a very special new contract for Kylian Mbappe, but it not good for PSG, as if they need Kylian Mbappe so much to make him too special.
but Kylian Mbappe has openly said that he is a favorite club Real Madrid and wants to play for Real Madrid, now rumors about Mbappe are very confusing, these two clubs strongly claim that Kylian Mbappe will be at their club. so we'll just have to wait in the next few days whether Kylian Mbappe is interested in the contents of a new contract with a fantastic salary with PSG or going to his dream club.

Smart is not enough, there must be skills
I also believe he will go to Juventus.
Pogma loves that city, the club itself and the league he plays, many analysts even say that Pogba lived the best years of his career as a player in the years 2012 to 2016.
Even PSG could pay higher salaries than Juventus, but they are having some financial difficulties and need to sell someone first.
There are strong rumors that Paul Pogba is getting stronger with Juventus even though they have played brilliantly in the past, so Pogba's dream of course must determine the choice of a decent team for him, even though there are other offers from PSG and Real Madrid.
It was revealed from local news that Pogba doesn't want to be made fun of by his fans anymore if he doesn't play properly, Juventus' choice is getting stronger where he can adapt and also become a team that makes him shine.
That option is still not valid but rumors remain on Juventus.

Pogba is strong and fast and will make the first eleven at any club, too bad he found himself in a club where there have been many managers with different styles of play and he's been play at of positions, Pep wanted him but he opted out, PSG and Real Madrid are not looking for midfielders right now, but I can tell you there are many offers for Pogba right now.

If someone needs a midfielder it's Real. Kroos and Modric are great players, but they have max one good season ahead of them.
Sometimes it boils down to what the coach wants, two years ago Zidane was all over Manchester United trying to get Pogba on board, and while Pogba could be a perfect replacement for Kroos because he plays a little deeper, not to mention they still have two good DM at the club now (Casmiro and Camavinga), and the only Modric perfect replacement I can think of right now is KDB, someone who can replicate those magical passes as well. However, it is currently impossible because KDB is unavailable. Modric can do another two good years!

We don't know any longer what the truth is because of very misleading stories. According to recent reports, Kylian Mbappe and PSG are nearing an agreement on a new contract. I think his signing with PSG again will be due to his enjoyment of Messi. He enjoys collaborating with him. Meanwhile, it's only a matter of time before Laporta pulls off the greatest football hijack in history. With Mbappe and Haaland, Real Madrid wants to build a super team!
One thing I don't understand about Barcelona is why they'd want Lewandowski in preference to getting Messi back again. Messi didn't want to leave Barca, and is clearly not doing well in Paris. If you're going to pay huge wages for an ageing star, why not get the one you know?

Moh Salah's contract will expire in June next year, but until now Moh Salah has not extended his contract with Liferpol, speculation about Moh Salah is a hot topic, many clubs want Moh Salah Salah's services, even Barcelona are ready to bring Moh Salah at a fantastic price, but now rumors are circulating that the liferpol club is ready to extend Moh's contract. Money is not a big problem, because Moh's performance on the field is still very promising.

I still feel confident about the thing that we are going to see Mbappe at Real Madrid next season. Interestingly, he is still thinking about his options now but I don't expect him to decide to stay and play for his current team for at least one more season. PSG are still a hopeless case about winning the Champions League while Real Madrid are much better about it. Mbappe can play for them so many years and become even a Real Madrid legend too.
I'm also very optimistic that next season you will definitely be able to feel lifting the Champions League trophy with Real Madrid, because we know Real Madrid is the king of the Champions League, because if you continue to stay at PSG, I'm sure. that mbappe will never be able to lift the Champions League trophy, even though PSG have quality players but PSG does not have a winning mentality.

Pogba is free, there are no transfer costs. Real is probably the most attractive destination for all players and I guess even if they offer the same salary as Juventus, Pogba would choose Real. that doesn't stop them(Real) from buying the players you mentioned, again Pogba is a free agent.
Compared with Juventus, Real Madrid is a better team. But we don't know what Pogba wants for his career, he may choose Juventus because he ever played there. He may think to have easier adaptation to Juventus, he ever stayed there and spent much time in Juventus previously. While in Real Madrid, it is purely a new destination, he may adapt harder than in Juventus.

I also believe he will go to Juventus.

Whole this is your thought and I looks cool. If I am to be in Mbappe's shoes, I will stay in PSG for two more seasons. After all Mbappe is still young, after two years, Real Madrid will still come for him.
Mbappe should spend more time in PSG to have the record of the world most paid player. What is the essence of the football, is it not to make money? If I were him, I will not make that mistake of leaving psg. If he is in PSG, atleast he is sure of going to Champions league every year, with a better coach like Zidane, he could be a Champions league winner, who knows.?
I also disagree when the level of Paris Saint-Germain is downplayed, because the club could well have passed Real Madrid and had excellent chances to do so. And it is still unknown who would have played in the final then. In any case, Mbappe plays a very important role in building the Paris Saint-Germain game and in the results and the player's departure will be a big loss for the club. Also, the player's departure will hit the club's chances of winning the Champions League hard, so I'm not surprised that PSG is making every effort to keep the player. Still, I don't see that anyone has been able to effectively replace Mbappe in the team yet.

Maybe it's because Mbappe doesn't make money a priority that's why he always refuses fantastic contract offers from PSG. After all, there is
no certainty that Zidane will accept an offer from PSG to become the main coach to replace Pochettino. Because according to rumors, Zidane is
more interested in becoming the coach of the French national team. Therefore Mbappe is likely to choose Real Madrid for his new team next season.
Because it is quite possible that Real Madrid can win the Champions League trophy next season compared to PSG. So there is nothing wrong
in my opinion with Mbappe leaving PSG, like you said Mbappe is still young so there is no need to make money the main priority. Except like Neymar
and Messi who are not young anymore, it is only natural that they are more interested in staying at PSG, because before they retire they want
to collect as much money as possible. So my prediction is that Mbappe will prefer to move to Real Madrid.

Real has no economical problems.
If they want a player they get him.

They bought Camavinga the past year and this summer they probably get Aurélien Tchouaméni, so they will have young players when the goats will stop.

If someone needs a midfielder it's Real. Kroos and Modric are great players, but they have max one good season ahead of them. if we watch all the matches against PSG, Man City and Chelsea in most of those games they are in a subordinate position. mostly due to the weaker midfield.
and besides, it is obvious that they are not interested in Pogba because of his poor performance, frivolous and inconsistent approach to the game. He is good but only in an already formed great team and we saw that in France's national team and Juventus(Man United obviously not).
In six years in Manchester, I think only several games where he was the main bearer of the game. He cannot be a key player (like Modric, De Bryne, Kante...) although it is considered so because of the talent and price.
Good luck to Juventus with him.

No way, Pogba wants to return to Juventus because that is where his heart is, but he is waiting to see what plans they have for the upcoming season because he will not be leaving a club fighting for a champions league slot to another club fighting for the same thing; he wants to win trophies, which is why he is leaving Manchester United. And, yes, I don't see him joining Manchester City because of his ties to Manchester United fans and the club.
You're right, Pogba will not fit into Guardiola's game model because they need hardy and fast players, and Pogba is definitely not like that. He was comfortable in the measured Italian league, and probably Alegre would not mind bringing him back, but is it interesting for Pogba himself? At PSG, he will not survive the competition and will sit on the bench, Real would be a great option, but does Real need him?
Pogba is strong and fast and will make the first eleven at any club, too bad he found himself in a club where there have been many managers with different styles of play and he's been play at of positions, Pep wanted him but he opted out, PSG and Real Madrid are not looking for midfielders right now, but I can tell you there are many offers for Pogba right now.
