The midfielder's four-year doping ban was recently reduced to 18 months, meaning he will be available in March. He left Juventus in November, which made him a free agent.

Pep Guardiola's side have been looking at options amidst their poor season. Since Ballon d'Or winner Rodri was ruled out for the season, they have struggled on the pitch.

They have won once in their last ten matches, a run that has harmed their Premier League title defence.

The report concludes that Pogba is open to playing in La Liga, Serie A, and Bundesliga but is reluctant to return to England.
