Paul Pogba and Manchester City had agreed personal terms before the player backed out of the move amid concerns over the reaction from the Manchester United fanbase, according to reports.
The midfielder will be a free agent in a matter of weeks with his Old Trafford contract set to expire. The two parties resigned themselves to a parting of ways and Pogba will now have a host of suitors eyeing his services. Juventus, Real Madrid and PSG are among the obvious destinations.
However, City emerged as a possible new home as they begin their summer business. Fernandinho will leave the Etihad this summer leaving Pep Guardiola to eye a new face in the middle of the park. Pogba was therefore seen as a target and the Times states that personal terms had been agreed.
