Mino Raiola named his dream club for Paul Pogba to join from Manchester United
Pogba looks to be nearing a return to Juventus following his Manchester United exit, but his late agent had other ideas when the possibility of a transfer arose last year.
The late football agent Mino Raiola thought it would've been ideal for Paul Pogba to join Paris Saint-Germain.
Pogba will leave Old Trafford this summer after United confirmed his departure will become official when his contract expires at the end of the month. The midfielder is expected to rejoin Juventus.
There has been plenty of speculation over Pogba’s future over the years. The 29-year-old was linked with a number of clubs as it became clear he was approaching an exit from United.

Real Madrid and Paris Saint-Germain were touted as possible destinations, although it now looks like Pogba will head to Italy for his second spell at Juventus.
Raiola appears in Pogba’s new Amazon Prime documentary, ‘The Pogmentary’, in which he discussed his clients future before his death earlier this year. Raiola reveals he was ready to speak to other clubs while Pogba was in action during last summer’s European Championship.
“Paul needs to concentrate, especially during the Euros,” Raiola said. “His contract is running out, but that doesn’t mean that we are not talking to Manchester United, and we will start, when we can, talking to other clubs.”
Asked where he wanted Pogba to go, Raiola responded: “I would love to see him in Paris Saint-Germain. I think in Paris Saint-Germain the king would be coming back.”
Pogba was linked with a move to PSG last summer, while the French club were understood to have held talks with the midfielder earlier in the season. Nothing materialised though, and the France international now looks to be heading back to Italy this summer.
