According to the Independent, the French capital representative is hoping to have Pogba next summer on a free transfer. If the midfielder wearing the number 6 shirt of MU agrees to move to Parc des Princes, PSG's board of directors is willing to pay him a salary of up to 600,000 euros (equivalent to 510,000 pounds) per week.
