The Monaco midfielder&#8217;s value is estimated to be between \u00a380-100 million.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It may be a struggle for PSG to get their man though as it is rumoured the <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/football\/2022\/01\/07\/why-aurelien-tchouameni-good-manchester-united\/\" target=\"_self\">Frenchman wants a move abroad<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>Paris Saint-Germain Weary of Pogba<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.leparisien.fr\/sports\/football\/psg\/mercato-recruter-tchouameni-et-pogba-le-reve-fou-du-psg-06-04-2022-A3KPXCZQCBG4VDYYISUK6BRWQU.php\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Le Parisien<\/a><\/em> also reported that although <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/football\/2022\/01\/18\/rangnick-paul-pogba-future\/\" target=\"_self\">Pogba would be a free transfer<\/a>, PSG are aware of the risks that come with these types of signings.

Whether it&#8217;s with Manchester United or another club, I want to win trophies.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8220;It&#8217;s simple with France, I play and I play in my position. I know my role and I feel the confidence of the coach and the players. It&#8217;s normal to feel a difference at Manchester United because it&#8217;s hard to be consistent when you often have a change to your position, or the team system, or your [midfield] partners.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>Pochettino&#8217;s Future Yet to be Decided<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Before PSG make these signings, there are questions on whether <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/football\/2022\/02\/02\/psg-stint-may-have-permanently-tainted-managerial-reputation-of-mauricio-pochettino\/\" target=\"_self\">Mauricio Pochettino<\/a> will remain at the club next season.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">An underwhelming season and heavy rumours linking the Argentine to the Manchester United job has left PSG fans unhappy.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Pochettino told<a href=\"https:\/\/www.footmercato.net\/a4059695354425610302-psg-les-confidences-de-mauricio-pochettino-sur-son-avenir\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"> Foot Mercato<\/a>: \u201cIf it is possible to stay at PSG next season?
