Aston Villa and Newcastle United have allegedly identified Manchester United midfielder Paul Pogba as a potential summer transfer target.
With just over three months remaining on his contract, Pogba appears likely to depart Old Trafford on a free transfer at the end of the season.
The World Cup winner will not be short of options with Real Madrid, Juventus and Paris Saint-Germain all said to be monitoring the situation.
However, according to The Sun, Villa and Newcastle are considering whether to hand the France international an opportunity to remain in the Premier League.
As it stands, a switch to either Villa Park or St James' Park appears unlikely, but both clubs could offer the 29-year-old guaranteed first-team football, something which would not be agiven at the other trio of teams.
Steven Gerrard has already been able to attract Philippe Coutinho to Villa, and his status may come into the equation if the West Midlands outfit pursue Pogba's signature.
Meanwhile, Newcastle are expected to make bids for several high-profile players later in 2022, providing that they are able to avoid relegation to the Championship.
