Paul Pogba Receives Concrete Offers from Saudi Pro League Clubs
Despite the continuous denials, it seems that Paul Pogba has indeed received tangible offers from clubs in the Saudi Pro League, particularly from Al-Ahli.
The 30-year-old midfielder caused a stir with his recent visit to Saudi Arabia over the weekend. Although sources insist that the purpose of his trip was personal and religious, the speculation regarding his potential move to the rapidly growing Middle Eastern league continues.
According to reports from La Gazzetta dello Sport via ilBianconero, Al-Ahli is making a tempting offer to Pogba, with a proposed salary of 100 million euros over the next three years. Additionally, the club is willing to spend an additional 10 million euros to secure his permanent transfer from Juventus.
In light of these developments, Juventus is actively exploring the market for a potential replacement in case the Frenchman departs Turin this summer.
According to the same source, Barcelona midfielder Franck Kessié is believed to be the frontrunner to fill Pogba’s shoes at Juventus, particularly in the eyes of coach Max Allegri. Allegri, who hails from Livorno, has long admired the Ivory Coast international since his time at AC Milan.
Juventus had previously attempted to sign the 26-year-old midfielder when his contract with Milan expired, but he ultimately joined Barcelona on a free transfer. However, Kessié faced a challenging first season at Camp Nou, struggling at times to secure regular playing time.

As the report suggests, Barcelona would not be opposed to selling Kessié, and there is even a possibility of a loan deal being negotiated.
Other potential targets being considered by Juventus include Teun Koopmeiners from Atalanta, Rodrigo De Paul from Atletico Madrid, and the promising young talent Habib Diarra from Strasbourg.
