Football agent Mino Raiola has reportedly made an audacious attempt to offer Manchester United midfielder Paul Pogba to Liverpool this summer.
The Frenchman looks to have an uncertain future at Old Trafford as Ligue 1 giants Paris Saint-Germain look to prise the 28-year-old away from Manchester.
But, as Reds’ boss Jurgen Klopp also searches for a midfield option after Gini Wijnaldum headed to Paris at the start of the transfer window, Pogba may have come up in conversation.
That’s according to a report from Le10Sport, as cited by Football Transfers on Twitter.

In what has been described as a ‘daring attempt’ to pair the 84 times capped star with Liverpool, the report claims that the agent suggested a deal was a ‘possibility’.
The Reds are believed to have suggested a move would perhaps be more feasible in January when Pogba enters the final 12 months of a deal.
Last season the World Cup-winning Frenchman scored six and registered 10 assists from 42 appearances in all competitions.

Valued at £54million (Transfermarkt) and based on ability alone there is no doubt Klopp would relish the opportunity to work with a player like Pogba.
However, when you consider the finances, rivalry and the fact a 57 year wait for a transfer between the arch-rivals would have to be broken – this is a deal without legs for this summer.
Whilst national team Pogba – a player hailed as the ‘complete midfielder’ by manager Didier Deschamps – would be a superb acquisition, there’s little chance the Frenchman will become the next Phil Chisnall
Perhaps more realisitically the same report claims Liverpool are also interested in Rennes’ starlet Eduardo Camavinga and Lyon ace Houssem Aouar.
