Juventus have been reportedly interested in bringing back Paul Pogba. Fabrizio Romano, an extremely reputable source, has told Calciomercato that the Frenchman remains the Serie A giants' top-priority midfield target.
Such a 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.
Meanwhile, Pogba's presence has been non-existent this term as the 2018 World Cup winner has been struggling with never-ending ankle problems. The Frenchman 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.
