Paul Pogba unexpectedly chooses MLS, to play alongside Messi or Lloris and Giroud?

According to AS (Spain), Paul Pogba has turned down invitations to play in Europe, choosing to join MLS (American professional soccer league) to play for Inter Miami with Messi or Los Angeles FC with compatriots Lloris and Giroud.

Pogba has finished his suspension and is a free agent. The 32-year-old French midfielder has recently been in the United States, thereby almost confirming his goal when returning to play here, instead of joining a club in Europe, including the possibility of returning to his old team MU, which is extremely unlikely, according to AS .

"There has been a lot of talk about Pogba moving to MLS for a long time, with Inter Miami being seen as the most likely destination. The French midfielder has a very good relationship with Inter Miami President David Beckham and is also a huge admirer of Messi and his teammates, having regularly watched the team play.

David Beckham really wants to recruit Pogba to strengthen Inter Miami to compete in the FIFA Club World Cup and conquer the CONCACAF Champions Cup," AS newspaper said.

However, Inter Miami will have to compete with Los Angeles FC for Pogba's signature. Inter Miami and Los Angeles FC will also meet in the CONCACAF Champions Cup quarterfinals, with the first leg taking place on April 3 and the return leg on April 10.

Los Angeles FC currently owns two veteran French stars, goalkeeper Hugo Lloris and striker Olivier Giroud. However, they are struggling in the 2025 MLS season, ranking 8th in the Western region with 6 points after 4 matches. In particular, Giroud, although the top scorer during his time at AC Milan (Italy), when he came to the US and played 13 matches in MLS, still has no goals.

Therefore, Los Angeles FC is planning a bold plan, which is to find every way to convince Pogba to join the team to help Giroud find his "penalty box killer instinct". In addition, this summer, the club will also bring in striker Antoine Griezmann, another Frenchman from Atletico Madrid, to significantly increase the team's strength to conquer the MLS championship.

Pogba recently appeared at BMO Stadium in Los Angeles, watching Los Angeles FC lose 0-1 to Austin FC. This is the second consecutive loss of this team in MLS, making the team's owners extremely uneasy and decided to immediately convince the French star to join in the near future, according to AS .

If Pogba joins Los Angeles FC, he will have the chance to reunite with former France team-mates Lloris and Giroud, as well as the possibility of adding Griezmann this summer. However, he will also miss out on playing with Messi at Inter Miami.

Any decision will await Pogba's announcement, expected this week, to mark his return to international football after an 18-month absence due to a doping ban.
