Pogba's current deal at Old Trafford runs out next summer and the two sides have struggled to come to an agreement on an extension. PSG boss Mauricio Pochettino, who was previously in charge of Tottenham, is very familiar with the Frenchman and is keen on making the 2018 World Cup winner his marquee signing.
