Man City chiefs have Man Utd midfielder Pogba under consideration

Manchester City have Manchester United midfielder Paul Pogba under consideration.

The Manchester Evening News says Pogba is one possible central midfield target that Guardiola and City could pursue this summer.

After coasting to their third Premier League title in four seasons, City were priced out of a move for England striker Harry Kane last summer, but they did manage to sign Jack Grealish from Aston Villa. His signature saw City break the nine-figure barrier to set a new British transfer record of £100million.

Kane continues to be mooted as a potential target for the upcoming window. However, priority number one is Borussia Dortmund striker Erling Haaland.

As for Pogba, the expiration of his deal this summer means City would not have to pay a transfer fee if he were to move to the Etihad. Fernandinho's imminent departure and Ilkay Gundogan's niggling injury issues this season mean Guardiola could be tempted to hunt for midfield reinforcements.
