Paul Pogba is set to become a free-agent in 2025, with Inter Miami one of the clubs rumored to be interested in the French superstar.
The Juventus midfielder has been cleared to return to soccer in March of next year having been originally banned from the sport due to a failed drug test, with Pogba since emerging as a target for Inter Miami ahead of his comeback.
With Inter Miami also linked with the likes of Neymar and now Mohamed Salah, a big-name signing is seemingly on the agenda for the Herons heading into the January transfer window, with Pogba one such player the Florida franchise could acquire.
And the midfielder himself has now seemingly dropped a big hint that he could be joining Inter Miami.
Pogba seen at Miami Heat game with Lionel Messi’s bodyguard Yassine Cheuko
Lionel Messi’s bodyguard Yassine Cheuko has earned cult-like status since the Argentine international moved to Inter Miami last year, yet the former FC Barcelona superstar is not the only famous friend the former Navy SEAL has.
TV cameras on Friday night spotted Chueko sitting courtside at the Miami Heat alongside Pogba, dropping a potential hint that the 2018 FIFA World Cup winner could be joining Messi and company in Florida.
Although Los Angeles FC have made contact already to sign Pogba, there’s a real chance that Inter Miami could end up landing the former Manchester United superstar after his courtside appearance at the Heat.
Moreover, sitting next to Chueko could be another teasing message that Pogba is close to joining Inter Miami, a transfer that supporters would be excited about given how poorly the season ended for the Herons.
Would Pogba be a good signing for Inter Miami?
It’s been over two years since Pogba last played a full season of soccer, with the midfielder spending the last two campaigns with Juventus injured or banned from playing following his doping controversy.
| Paul Pogba’s Manchester United 2021/22 stats | Games played | Goals | Assists |
| Premier League | 20 | 1 | 9 |
| UEFA Champions League | 6 | 0 | 0 |
| FA Cup | 1 | 0 | 0 |
| Total | 27 | 1 | 9 |
Yet as per Pogba’s stats from his last full season at United, the central midfielder impressed despite playing just 27 games in all competitions, with the France maestro registering an impressive nine assists in 20 Premier League games.
Although Inter Miami will need to be patient, Pogba could be quite the signing for the Herons if a deal can be reached with the 31-year-old superstar, who based on his activity might be closing in on a move to Florida.
