British media announce that Manchester City was considering parting with four players in order to finance the transfer of Paul Pogba. French midfielder of Juventus is the priority of the English club. But he is not alone on this issue.
The signing of Paul Pogba race already is in full swing. And Manchester City knows that he is not in a strong position. Given the constraints imposed in the context of financial fair play, but also of the strong competition in this folder. With contenders like Barca, Real, PSG or Chelsea, Juventus is largely able to bump up the auction. Certainly beyond EUR 80 million announced Thursday by the Daily Mirror.
The British tabloid announced that City is studying all possibilities to raise this amount. Including selling massively, left to precipitate the end of cycle announced in the United club. Four players are on the departure according to the Daily Mirror: Yaya Touré, which Paul Pogba would be the successor appointed as patron of the midfield, but also Samir Nasri, Stevan Jovetic and Edin Dzeko. The name of Aleksandar Kolarov is also discussed in the Daily Star.
Can sales of these four players enable City to reach the amount required by the Juve for Pogba? Not impossible. According to the website transfermarkt, specializing on the value of players, Yaya Touré, despite his 31 years, is estimated at 28 million euros, Nasri to 21 million, Jovetic to 20 and Dzeko 24. Potentially, these four sales could bring € 93 million to City. In fact, it's obviously still to prove.
The amount of the transfer would otherwise not the only obstacle for the English club, also forced to monitor its payroll in the context of financial fair play. If Juve can raise the transfer allowance auctions, Pogba can do the same for his wages. The Daily Mail announced that the French officers have already pushed a proposal for PSG for an annual salary of more than EUR 15 million...
To finance such an investment, City indeed has no choice but to part with at least four elements. So much more that Pogba is not the only player under its ambitious leaders. The Daily Mirror announced an upcoming offer of 35 million pounds (47 million euros) to Raheem Sterling, the Liverpool winger. That City can afford Pogba and Sterling is far from a certainty. What is certain, is that the English club plans a big reshuffle of staff this summer. And he is ready to put the price.
