Manchester City are considering making a move for Paul Pogba as a potential midfield addition amidst the club's poor run of form.

Pogba is set to return to playing football next year in March following his ban due to his doping charges.

The France international had his ban reduced from four years to just eight months after appealing his charges.

With his return imminent, Manchester City are looking to bring him in due to the injury crisis in the squad.

City has lost seven of their last ten games across all competitions, and Pep Guardiola is eager to bring in reinforcements in January to address the team's present predicament.

Guardiola’s team recently lost 2-0 in midweek to Juventus, putting them in danger of an early Champions League exit.

With their recent poor form, the Premier League champions are keen on bringing in a new face in their midfield 

According to the Independent, Pogba is a target for the Premier League winners, but he is hesitant to sign with them.

The Frenchman looks to avoid upsetting his bond with United supporters by joining their closest rivals, according to the reports.

Meanwhile, Man City are set to face Pogba’s former club Manchester United in the Manchester derby clash and Guardiola will be hoping to get a win against his rivals.
