Okay, not everyone will agree that Paul Pogba deserves legend status with his 233 appearances, 39 goals and 51 assists, but for us, the Frenchman was great when he was at his best at Old Trafford. Just a shame it was for such short periods. Now he has finished serving a doping sentence, could have hidden away in MLS, but is well on his way to France’s 3rd best club and Champions League game. Now efforts are being made for two Barcelona players to follow into the gates of the principality.
According to L’Equipe, Ansu Fati is also on his way, the player who took over Messi’s shirt in 2021, got a buyout clause of €1 billion, but disappeared after a season of injuries completely out of the playing time queue. Monaco intend to take advantage of Barcelona’s indifference to make the 22-year-old want to leave Camp Nou.

Thus, Monaco are betting on reinforcements of Pogba and demoted Fati, in addition to coach Adi Hütter will bring in a goalkeeper who should be able to match Donnarumma at PSG in the title race.
Both L’Equipe and Mundo Deportivo claim the Ligue 1 club has made contact with Marc-Andre tre Stegen, the Barcelona goalkeeper with almost a decade at the club.
La Liga champions Barca have already secured Ter Stegen’s replacement, signing Joan Garcia from city rivals Espanyol for €25 million. Garcia is expected to be the new first choice under Hansi Flick, while former Juventus goalkeeper Wojciech Szczesny is being considered as his backup. Selling the German goalkeeper, who has a high salary, will help Barca balance their accounts before the new season.
