Transfer market, Ronaldo like Pogba: at the end (of the European Championships) the Frenchman left …

As on the occasion of the last European Championship (in 2016), Juve is preparing to experience the summer waiting to know the future of its star. Five years ago the Juventus management remained on their toes throughout the competition before defining the future of Paul Pogba: he reached the final with France, was beaten by Cristiano Ronaldo’s Portugal. Five years later, it is the Portuguese who keeps the Juve market frozen, with his head on the field and an eye on the updates of his entourage, which in the meantime tries to fix him away from Turin.

POGBA CAPITAL GAIN

Different situations, but summer 2021 which could have similarities with the dynamics experienced in 2016. Pogba, after the French European Championship, decided his future in the middle of the holidays together with his agent Mino Raiola, between July and August. He chose to return to Manchester United, in the face of a greedy offer of recruitment: it was also the most expensive operation in the European transfer market up to that moment, transfer from 105 million euros, 72 effective for the coffers of Juventus that had hired him four years earlier to zero.

FUTURE RONALDO

The sale of Ronaldo would be equally positive for Juventus’ financial logic. The player still has one year on his contract, with a net salary of 31 million euros and a residual cost of 87 million. He has not yet expressed himself on the future but seems more directed to leave Turin than in previous summers: this is why he would have given Mendes a mandate to find an alternative solution. PSG and Manchester United – where Pogba now seems to be in the closing credits – remain valid hypotheses for the future of the player. Who for now remains focused on the European Championship to be defended with the Portugal shirt. On the continuation of his career he will decide only later, just like Pogba did in 2016.
