In the world of football, transfer rumors are always a hot topic among fans and pundits alike. One such rumor that has been making headlines recently involves French midfield maestro Paul Pogba and Saudi Pro League club Al-Hilal. The Saudi Arabian club has reportedly made an improved offer for the Juventus star during this summer transfer window.
Initially, Al-Hilal had tabled an offer of €100 million over a three-year period for the services of Pogba. However, according to reports from La Gazzetta dello Sport, the club has now upped their bid to a staggering €150 million. This significant increase in the offer showcases Al-Hilal’s determination to secure the talented midfielder’s signature.
The speculation surrounding Pogba’s potential move to Saudi Arabia intensified when he was spotted on a trip to Jeddah recently. While it was initially believed that the trip was for personal reasons, it was later revealed that he also visited the premises of two Saudi Arabian clubsides, Al-Hilal and Al-Ahli. This has only fueled further speculation about Pogba’s future.
Pogba, who returned to Juventus from Manchester United in the summer of 2022, has had his fair share of injury problems since his arrival. These niggling injuries have limited his playing time, and he has only managed to make 10 appearances across all competitions for the Bianconeri. It is no secret that Juventus is open to selling Pogba before the summer transfer window closes.
During the 2022/23 Serie A season, Pogba featured in just six league games, failing to register a goal or an assist. Juventus, on the other hand, had a disappointing campaign, finishing the season in seventh place with a total of 62 points after 38 games. It is clear that Pogba’s potential departure could be seen as a fresh start for both the player and the club.
As the transfer saga continues to unfold, football fans around the world eagerly await updates on Pogba’s future. Will Al-Hilal’s improved bid be enough to lure the French midfielder away from Juventus? Only time will tell. Until then, fans can only speculate and hope for a resolution to this intriguing transfer story.
