I believe it's possible to ride out the unhappiness, benefit from their continued performance and try to renew at the later date.
I believe the de Gea saga and Spur's approach to contracts has shown it's possible and ultimately more beneficial than trying to replace a star player with the incoming transfer fee that will quickly pail in comparision to transfer inflation.
Which is a roundabout way of saying, keep Pogba. He's reached his peak years, he has maybe 3 more years at the top before he declines, hold him to his contract and try and renew later. If he leaves on a free, we bank his best years.
We will be lucky to get 100m for him, which wouldnt leave much change from a Maddison.
