The problem with Paul Pogba’s current situation is that until he signs a new contract, there will be rumours about his future.
Furthermore, Manchester United are having to cover their backs in the process, since his departure would leave a hole that needs filling.
One player who has been touted as potentially being the right man for the job in the past is Ryan Gravenberch.
The young midfielder has impressed at Ajax since making his debut, and while he had a few issues to address in his game, he has done so and is now indispensable to the club.
That’s why they are wanting to tie him down to a new contract, making their first move by contacting Mino Raiola.
SoccerNews cover this on Friday, relaying claims from De Telegraaf about the renewal, before adding what appears to be their own information.
They state that Gravenberch is being ‘closely followed’ by pretty much every top team in Europe, before naming three clubs who are ‘especially’ doing so: Liverpool, Juventus and Manchester United.
Now, that doesn’t mean they will make a move in January, but if Mino Raiola plays hardball, as he likes to do, then what better way to keep the ball rolling than replacing one his clients at Old Trafford with another?
