Antonio Conte feels Juventus would benefit from selling Paul Pogba and backs Sebastian Giovinco’s move to Toronto FC.
The Italy Coach spoke to Tuttosport and was asked about his former club amid reports Real Madrid and Paris Saint-Germain are prepared to pay €100m for Pogba.
“It would allow the club to buy two or three top level players, even though nowadays it is more difficult to realise who will make the team really step up a gear,” said Conte.

There is already one certain departure, as Giovinco has agreed to join Toronto FC in the MLS from the end of this season.
“What else should he have done? In a few years’ time players will be elbowing each other out of the way to go there. The MLS will grow a great deal and not just in terms of chatter.
“I know Giovinco well and he’s not going there just to earn money. It’s a great opportunity, one as a player I would’ve grabbed. I missed out on an overseas job, as that would’ve been a formative experience.
“It’s true that players can be at a bit of a disadvantage for the Nazionale when playing so far away, such as Diamanti and Gilardino in China, but I always keep an eye out anyway.”
Conte also revealed he is trying to study English, but is “absolutely useless.”
