Transfer Rumors: D.C. United Eyeing Move for Pogba
Hey there, soccer fans! It’s that time of year again when the transfer rumor mill is in full swing, and we’ve got some juicy tidbits to share with you. Whether you’re a die-hard fan or just love the drama of the transfer window, there’s something for everyone in today’s roundup. So, grab your favorite beverage, sit back, and let’s dive into the latest transfer news, rumors, and gossip from around the globe.
First up, we have some exciting news for fans of D.C. United. The club has reportedly begun talks with none other than Paul Pogba. Yes, you heard that right! The 2018 FIFA World Cup winner is in discussions for a potential move to the United States. Pogba, who is now 32 years old, hasn’t played a professional game since September 2023 due to an 18-month ban for testing positive for DHEA, a banned substance. However, a comeback in the MLS has been on the cards for a while, especially after Pogba was spotted at several MLS stadiums earlier this year. While a deal isn’t thought to be imminent, the possibility of seeing Pogba in a D.C. United jersey is certainly tantalizing.
Meanwhile, over in the Premier League, Chelsea are plotting a double summer raid for two talented center-backs. According to TeamTalk, the Blues have their eyes set on Marc Guéhi and Dean Huijsen. Guéhi, a Cobham graduate, could be making a sensational return to Stamford Bridge, while Huijsen, currently with Bournemouth, is attracting interest from major European clubs. The Spain international has a reported £50 million release clause in his contract, making him a hot commodity this summer.

In other news, Bayer Leverkusen and Hertha Berlin have finalized the transfer of Ibrahim Maza. The 19-year-old has been turning heads in the 2. Bundesliga this season, earning his first Algeria call-up last October. Bayer is expected to pay around €12m for Maza, who has 10 goal contributions in 30 league games this campaign.
Over in France, Paris Saint-Germain have opened talks with River Plate for midfield sensation Franco Mastantuono. The 17-year-old is wanted by several European clubs, but PSG has made his signing a “priority.” River hopes to retain Mastantuono for another 18 months, by which point he will become a free agent. The Argentina Under-20 international has already made five goal contributions in his first nine league games this season.
Last but not least, Eintracht Frankfurt are considering a move for Bayern Munich goalkeeper Daniel Peretz. The 24-year-old has played just three times in the Bundesliga this season and has received inquiries from outside of Germany. Bayern plans to either loan out Peretz for the next season or let him leave permanently with a clause to return to the club in the future.
