Paris Saint-Germain 'leading Paul Pogba chase'

Paris Saint-Germain have got themselves in pole position in the race for Manchester United midfielder Paul Pogba, according to a report.

The French World Cup winner's future has been well speculated about over the past 12 months, with the 28-year-old's contract at Old Trafford set to expire in June.

As a result, Pogba is currently free to discuss and seal a pre-contract agreement with European clubs ahead of a potential free transfer move in the summer.

A potential return to Juventus has been touted as a possible destination, as well as moves to Real Madrid or Barcelona, but according to todofichajes.com, PSG are now leading the chase.

The report claims that Juventus have accepted defeat in their pursuit of their former midfielder due to the financial demands of Pogba and his agent Mino Raiola, which PSG are willing to meet, and so provides them with the opportunity to get their man.

Pogba has recently returned from an ongoing injury for United, and has recorded one assist and one goal in his last three appearances.
