City lead the race to sign French star

 

Manchester City are now in pole position to sign Juventus ace Paul Pogba, according to the Daily Mirror. 

 

Barcelona have supposedly pulled out of a deal to secure the Frenchman’s services due to financial reasons. 

 

Reports had suggested the youngster would move to the European champions for a fee believed to be in the region of £85m. 

 

However, their decision to pull the plug on the move has opened up the chance for City to secure the 22-year-old’s services.
