News:

In the Pogba youth training story disclosed by the "Team News", Le Havre still deeply regrets the missed genius player. In 2006, Le Havre scout Tanazefti discovered Pogba, 13, whose outstanding performance at the Roissy Ann Burri in Senna-Marne has long attracted the attention of Le Havre's senior executive Saal. After watching the game in person, Saal kept talking about Pogbazar, and at the age of 13 he showed extraordinary personality and leadership.

At that time, Le Havre's signing of Pogba was facing fierce competition, and teams such as Rennes and Paris were paying attention. The Tolsey Club also often sent player videos to Italy. In order to avoid Italy, Le Havre recruited the person in charge quietly signed a contract with Pogba's father at four o'clock in the morning, and Pogba also left the birthplace of Sena-Marne.

In 2009, Tanazefti became a sports consultant for Pogba, and Saal continued to discover talents for Le Havre. Pogba was captain of the French U16, and coach Ferrier commented that he was born with authority. Although he sometimes had too many small moves, he could control the situation on the court.

Pogba's reputation has spread to the UK, and many clubs such as Lyon, Arsenal, and Manchester City's Twins are interested in him. Although Le Havre signed with Pogba with an agreement to ban other French teams, he could not stop him from joining a foreign club. Le Havre failed to sign a new apprenticeship or professional contract with Pogba in time due to rules restrictions and the young age of the players, which eventually led to him accepting Manchester United's offer. Le Havre lost Pogba at a low price of 120,000 euros, and senior officials accused Manchester United of plundering. There are rumors that Pogba's parents received 100,000 euros from Manchester United, and their mother could still live in Manchester for free, but her mother denied it. At that time, Le Havre quoted Pogba's monthly salary of 5,000 euros, while Manchester United's monthly salary was 700 euros in the first eight months, and rose to 20,000 euros at the age of 17. Former Chairman Louville believes that it is unreasonable to pay too high a salary for 15-year-olds, and lament that Pogba left the otherwise favorable growth environment due to the temptation of money. This transfer storm has become a controversial past in football.
