Pogba estuvo a punto de ir al PSG

Paul Pogba was heavily linked with Real Madrid last summer, being one of coach Zinedine Zidane's petitions - the main object of his transfer desire.

As a world star, of course there were other sides interested in his signing.

Now Sport Italia have said that his agent, Mino Raiola, was close to taking Pogba to PSG to play with his international team-mate Kylian Mbappe.

In the end it came to nothing, with Raiola getting midfielder Marco Verratti's deal renewed there until 2024.
