Pogba and Messi hang out in Dubai, transfer speculations arise
Manchester United mid-fielder Paul Pogba was spotted hanging out with Barcelona captain Lionel Messi in Dubai last night. This has led to speculations of Pogba planning to jump from United to Barca soon. Notably, rumors of Barca being interested in Pogba have been doing the rounds for long. Both stars were served by the famous chef, Salt Bae.
Is there a possibility of Pogba's transfer?
There were reports that Barcelona would be scouting Pogba for the entire season to see if they would want to make such a huge investment. Reports in August also stated that Pogba had told both his team members and the club management that he is seeking a new opportunity in Spain. However, later it was understood that the Frenchman was now settled at United.
Where will Pogba fit at Barca?
Pogba, a great holding mid-fielder, is in his prime right now, and his talent can give Barcelona a huge boost. Barcelona have a rich mid-field and it remains to be seen (if and) where will Pogba fit. He could no doubt become the flag bearer of the club. But if Barca want to acquire his services, they will have to break the bank.
Is there really so much to conjecture about the meeting?
Both Pogba and Messi are not playing with their national teams currently since Pogba is injured and Messi has not yet made up his mind about continuing with Argentina. It is highly likely that both players met by chance and clicked a few pictures together. If they really wanted to talk business, wouldn't they find a more discreet place to converse?
