2. Pretty much every European club would take him.

It’s not everyday that a player who won the World Cup just months previous, after scoring in the final, becomes available to sign. Clubs have been sniffing around him like crazy in the last few seasons, trying to get in his good books before he inevitably pushes for a move. Clubs such as Real Madrid, Barcelona, Bayern Munich and Paris Saint-Germain all have the means to sign him, but whether or not they pursue a move remains to be seen.

I’m sure Mino Raiola has been in talks with all of them already. Say what you want about the agent, but he always wants what’s best for his clients. It’s one of the reasons why last season Pogba was offered to Europe’s elite.

He’s impressed on the world stage multiple times. While he’s had his fair share of spills, nobody can deny his overall work on the big stage throughout his career. I mean, he went from scoring in the Europa League final to the World Cup final in just one year. That’s impressive!

I personally think Real Madrid have the best chance of signing him, but no matter where he ends up, he’s going to be a real gem. If a club can swoop him and treat him the way Juventus did, then it will be as easy as taking candy from a baby. Yes, that was an analogy, and no I have no shame in comparing Mourinho to a baby. Boo-hoo.
