Paul Pogba is in advanced talks with Juventus, here are the latest updates from Italian media.
The France star sees his Manchester United contract expire in June and he is destined to leave Old Trafford as a free agent for the second time in his career.
Juventus and PSG are interested in securing his services and although the Ligue 1 giants could outbid the Bianconeri, Pogba has a strong bond with Juve, so the club’s directors are confident that he will eventually return to Turin.
According to Tuttosport newspaper, Juventus vice-president Pavel Nedved, a former client of Mino Raiola, just like Pogba, has been talking to the France star many times over the last few weeks, trying to persuade him to return to the club.
Juventus have already offered Pogba a €7.5m-a-year deal, while PSG would offer €13m per season, the same money he’s getting at Manchester United. The Ligue 1 giants are planning to part ways with Mauricio Pochettino, hiring Zizou Zidane, who may tempt Pogba to move to Paris.
According to La Gazzetta dello Sport, Juventus have already put on the table a three-year deal but could add one more season in the agreement, offering a contract until 2026. The player’s representatives will meet Juventus again in the coming days.
Pogba is convinced about the Bianconeri’s project but hasn’t decided yet. This could be the decisive week, reports La Gazzetta, with the Old Lady increasingly confident of reuniting with the 2018 World Cup winner.

I hope Nedved was having fun in France, so all of these trips were not in vain when Pogba joins P$G.
Pogba might just use the Juventus offer to milk P$G, just like Mbappe did with Real Madrid offer.
Hopefully Pogba’s demanding a new coach before signing.
I’ll bet that a year from now Vlahovic is talking to Real Madrid, if Allegri stays.
Allegris plan is to destroy anything that’s good in the attacking department.
