Paris Saint-Germain fans have made it clear that Paul Pogba will not be welcomed at their club, despite reports that the Manchester United midfielder is on his way there.
Fans have protested his possible signing by hanging banners outside the Parc des Princes and PSG's training site.
'Pogba, you should listen to your mother,' read the banners, which arrived on Saturday morning.
We don't want you here, and she doesn't want you here.'
According to RMC Sport, no one has claimed responsibility for the protest banners yet.
It's unclear what has sparked PSG fans' hatred for Pogba, though the midfielder didn't hold back in his celebrations after United beat PSG in the Champions League last-16 clash in 2019.
Pogba was suspended for the second leg at the Parc des Princes, and he watched United's thrilling late victory from the stands before running down to the pitch to celebrate with his teammates.
Pogba has been linked with a move to PSG as he enters the final year of his Old Trafford contract, however there has been no formal communication between the two teams, much alone any offer.
PSG is expected to make a move for Pogba in the coming weeks, according to United.
When Pogba's contract ends next summer, United could lose the player who cost them a world record £89 million in 2016.
Because talks over a new contract have stalled, they may be inclined to sell him this summer, with a price tag of £43 million being suggested.
Pogba comes from Lagny-sur-Marne, which is around 22 miles from the center of Paris, so a return to his hometown would be appealing.
Pogba, who shined for France at Euro 2020, is presently on a family vacation in Florida before returning to United for pre-season training.
'I have one year left on my contract, everyone knows that,' he stated last month when asked about the issue.
No definite ideas for extensions have been made.
I've stayed in Manchester for the time being.
Pogba also rejected down a long-term £50 million contract offer from United, according to the Mirror.
However, if he joins PSG, he will join a team that has already made five acquisitions this summer, including Gianluigi Donnarumma of Italy, Sergio Ramos, Achraf Hakimi, Georginio Wijnaldum, and Danilo Pereira of Portugal.
United purchased Donny van de Beek from Ajax for £40 million last summer as a backup in case Pogba departed, and West Ham's Declan Rice, Atletico Madrid's Saul Niguez, and Rennes midfielder Eduardo Camavinga are also prospective alternatives this summer.
