According to Fabrizio Romano, a reputable source, Juventus 'have a desire and its name is Paul Pogba'. The Serie A heavyweights will be ready if the Frenchman decides to leave Manchester United and they have made this clear to his agent Mino Raiola.
However, the move won't be easy to execute. United's asking price for the midfielder remains close to €100m. The 27-year-old's contract at Old Trafford is set to expire in 2021 but the Reds have a clause to extend it until 2022 and they will trigger it because it's a unilateral option.
Thus, Juventus could either meet United's demand or hope for the player and his notorious agent to force his way out of the club. Pogba's stance on the issue is unknown yet.
Meanwhile, Pogba's presence has been non-existent this term as the 27-year-old has been struggling with never-ending ankle problems. Paul has taken part in just 8 games so far and collected 2 assists.
A Reds' Academy graduate, Pogba left Old Trafford to join Juventus in 2012. In four seasons with the Bianconeri, the midfielder made 178 appearances, scored 34 goals, registered 40 assists and won 8 trophies, including 4 Serie A titles.
In August 2016, Pogba returned United for an unheard-of fee of €105m plus €5m. His agent Mino Raiola reportedly received €27m from Juventus for making the move go through.
After his comeback to Old Trafford, the Frenchman has played 150 games, scored 31 goals, provided 31 assists, and won 2 trophies - the EFL Cup and the Europa League under Jose Mourinho in the 2016/17 season.
