PAUL POGBA appeared to drop a massive hint on his future after posting a picture wearing a REAL MADRID shirt alongside a cryptic message.
Pogba, 32, is still without a team after agreeing the mutual termination of his contract at Juventus in November following his 18-month doping ban – but has now reportedly agreed terms with his next club.
The former Manchester United midfielder was slapped with an initial four-year ban for taking banned substance DHEA last year, but saw that punishment slashed to just 18 months after a successful appeal to the Court of Arbitration of Sport.
Pogba has been able to return to football since March following the end of his ban.
Now it looks like the World Cup winner has dropped a hint over where he could be heading next, after he posted photos of himself training in a Real Madrid shirt alongside the caption: “I think it’s time”.
Fans are convinced that the cryptic post is confirmation that Pogba will be heading to the Bernabeu to join Madrid ahead of the new campaign.
One wrote: “Pogba to Real Madrid – HERE WE GO”.
While another added: “Welcome to Real Madrid”.
A third commented: “Time to join Real Madrid”.
And a fourth posted: “Hope it’s time for you to join Real Madrid”.
However, a switch to Madrid seems unlikely in reality – with reports suggesting that Pogba has already agreed a move to Ligue 1 club Monaco as his return to football.
It’s claimed by French outlet Le Parisien that Pogba will pen a two-year deal with Monaco ahead of the new campaign.
The 91-time France international insisted he was still able to play at the top level in an interview in October, eyeing a return to the national team.
He said: “That’s what I hope [to play for France]. It’s in my mind for sure but I have to be ready for that.
“There’s players there that deserve to be playing and deserve to be in the national team.
“I have to win my place back in the team again.”
