Paul Pogba set to make financial sacrifices in order to join Monaco

According to a report from Fabrice Hawkins, Paul Pogba (31) is willing to make financial sacrifices regarding his salary demands in order to sign for AS Monaco this summer. The France international midfielder has taken the necessary steps to complete the move to the Principality club. Pogba is a free agent after his contract with Juventus was terminated following the premature end to his drug suspension.
Talks are ongoing between Les Monégasques and the representatives of the 31-year-old midfielder. Monaco are said to be cautious in the negotiations, but Pogba has been clear in his desire to make the move happen before the beginning of the new Ligue 1 season.

The former Manchester United midfielder has already been searching for property on the Côte d'Azur to settle his family in the Principality if the transfer does eventually go through. With the Frenchman willing to reduce his salary demands, Monaco could be willing to make the move happen.
