Paul Pogba will leave Manchester United when his contract ends at the end of June, according to the club. So, who will take his position as the World Cup-winning Frenchman?
The departures of Paul Pogba and Nemanja Matic from Manchester United have left a major hole in their midfield, implying that they will have to spend money in the transfer market if they want to compete with the top teams next season.
Let's have a look at some of the players who could help Manchester United overcome their midfield woes and propel them higher in the rankings.
Manchester United has initiated direct talks with Barcelona for Frenkie De Jong, according to Fabrizio Romano, a respected journalist. De Jong is thought to be worth €85 million to Barcelona.
De Jong could be enticed to play his football at Old Trafford next season by the arrival of Erik Ten Hag. Ten Hag's Ajax won the 2018/19 Eredivisie title and stormed into the Champions League semi-finals thanks to De Jong's contributions.
Manchester United, on the other hand, would have to overcome a number of challenges if they were to sign the Dutch midfielder. De Jong isn't persuaded that leaving Spain is the best decision for him, and he wants to play in the Champions League next season.
De Jong has made 140 appearances and scored 13 goals since joining Barcelona in 2019 for an initial cost of €75 million.
The dynamic midfielder, who is 25 years old, is noted for his vision, passing, dribbling, and skill, as well as his outstanding defensive qualities and attacking danger. He's been compared to Andreas Iniesta and Johan Cruyff for his ability to play on either side of a three-man center midfield.
Corentin Tolisso, Bayern Munich's midfield maestro, confirmed his departure from the club on Monday afternoon. When his contract ends at the end of June, the French midfielder will be a free agent.
According to Blid, the German Giants offered Tolisso a performance-based contract to stay with them. Tolisso, on the other hand, turned down their offer in order to continue his search for a €11 million contract.
Tolisso has made 118 appearances for Bayern Munich since joining for a stunning £37.5 million in July 2017. He has 21 goals and 15 assists in that time. It's also safe to assume that he has plenty of silverware.
