I'm posting this for the Pogba part:
They have another article on all the free transfers available this summer and what's driving that. On Pogba they say we have given him an offer that Pogba and Raiola don't think is good enough. The other article on the phenomenon of so many free transfers with big players this summer suggests that we don't think there are better offers elsewhere so are happy to sit it out.

Indeed, Pogba is unlikely to get his present salary matched anywhere other than PSG and, at a push, his previous club Juventus.

Not so long ago, there were signs that Pogba was veering towards staying at United but that was before his form tailed off and he picked up his current thigh injury. There are all sorts of theories about what could happen next with him — some agents close to United believe that one motivation for renewing Pogba’s contract is that it could help the club protect their relationship with Mino Raiola and, in turn, aid the pursuit of another of the superagent’s clients: Erling Haaland.

As per Fernando Polo [Mundo Deportivo]: Barcelona hopes that the City understands the departure of Ferran Torres and that they accept that a Barça player enters the transfer, because Barça sees the transfer as impossible with just a transfer fee and because it may be that some culé [Barcelona academy product] may be of interest to Pep [Nico?].

Did I miss the news of Brescia being taken over by billionaires?
Oddly, it's tied to not only his two years at Brescia, but based on a conversation he had with Roberto Baggio when he played with him there. He said that if he managed in Italy he'd try to bring Baggio out of retirement from football and make him his assistant manager at Brescia.

Marcotti confirmed it since he spent time with Baggio on multiple occasions and Pep is deadly serious. Although, I suspect it's something to happen ten years down the line and not right in the middle of his peak.

This makes it seem like Pogba will run his contract down all the way and become a free agent in the summer sort of like Donnarumma at Milan.

Pep can’t leave the Prem while Klopp is still here, otherwise the dippers will likely sweep most of the league titles in the next 3 or 4 years

One more major trophy and Liverpool are dead level with us in overall honours. Can't have that. The enemy of my enemy is my friend. Ugh.

The other candidates:
  • Mauricio Pochettino
  • Erik ten Hag
  • Brendan Rodgers
  • Ruben Amorim
Note: Zidane is more interested in working in France next (either for PSG or the French national team).
