The Manchester City trying to sign Paul Pogba
The Manchester City seems willing to go all out to secure the services of Paul Pogba, even offering David Silva plus a substantial amount of money.
The 'Citizen' team is aware that Barcelona is a tough competitor and that's why they are willing to make an extra effort, taking advantage of the ban that prevents Barcelona from registering players in the summer transfer market. Despite the fact that this hasn't been an obstacle for Aleix Vidal and Arda Turan to sign with Barcelona, Ferran Soriano and Txiki Begiristain, former acquaintances at 'Can Barça', know that it works in their favor.
Reports from England indicate that City was willing to pay almost 100 million euros, once the UEFA Club Financial Control Body had temporarily lifted the restrictions imposed on the English team. Now, after the significant investment they made to sign Raheem Sterling (68 million euros), the 'Sky Blues' funds have been somewhat weakened, leading to the inclusion of the Canary Island player in the Pogba deal.
In the offices of the team led by Manuel Pellegrini, Silva is valued at around 55-60 million, so the offer could include close to 50 million and ultimately reach or even exceed 100 million.
The signing of the French international from Juventus would be the icing on the cake for a project that dreams of winning the Champions League, a competition in which, despite the investments made summer after summer, they have not managed to go beyond the quarter-finals.
