Paul Pogba is still determined to leave Manchester United and is the top summer transfer target for Juventus , according to reports from Italy.
Pogba has been long been linked with a move away from Old Trafford,
with Juventus and Real Madrid having been touted as the most likely
destinations for the midfielder.
Manager Ole Gunnar
Solskjaer last week made it clear he expects Pogba to stay at United,
suggesting the club would trigger the option in the World Cup winner’s
contract of an extra season – which would take him through to the summer
of 2022.
There have also been suggestions that Pogba would
now more open to the idea of remaining at the club thanks to their
improved form and the opportunity of playing alongside exciting new
signing Bruno Fernandes in midfield.
However, Calciomercato
has reported that Pogba is still keen on a move – and his former club
Juventus will make him their number one target for the summer transfer
window.
The Italian media oulet claims Juventus are prepared
to pay 100million euros (£90m) for Pogba, which would see United
roughly break eve on the £89m they paid the Italian club to sign him in
2016.
Calciomercato suggests that extending the
27-year-old’s contract would simply be a ploy by United to gain a better
negotiating hand for when the transfer window opens and bids start
coming in for Pogba.
The publication reports that Madrid and
Barcelona are also monitoring Pogba, and says Paris-Saint Germain may
also be interested.
