PSG president Nasser Al-Khelaifi met with Pogba and his representatives in Monte Carlo earlier this week, though no financial package for the player was agreed.

Al-Khelaifi confirmed on Tuesday he had spoken with Pogba but admitted they would face competition for his signature. He told the French media: “Why did I talk with Pogba? Because he’s a great talent, he’s French, from Paris even. That said all the big clubs want him.”
