Paul Pogba 'meets with PSG director Leonardo over summer transfer'

Paul Pogba has reportedly held a meeting with Paris Saint-Germain sporting director Leonardo to discuss a summer transfer to the Parc des Princes.

The Manchester United man is due to become a free agent at the end of the season and seemingly has no intention of extending his contract at Old Trafford.

A return to Juventus has been mooted for Pogba, who was demoted to the bench for Saturday's 1-0 loss to Everton in the Premier League, but PSG are also understood to hold an interest.

According to Foot Mercato - via Get French Football News - Pogba is 'increasingly close' to sealing a switch to PSG and recently met with Leonardo, who views the France international as the perfect acquisition.

The report adds that Pogba has rebuffed a renewal offer from Man United which would have made him the highest-paid player in the Premier League, and PSG are now in pole position to sign him with Juventus not interested for the time being.

Pogba has scored one goal and set up nine more in 25 appearances for the Red Devils this season and has won the EFL Cup and Europa League since returning to Old Trafford in 2016.
