Juventus are reportedly ready to offer Paul Pogba €4m a season, but three clubs are apparently preparing to offer up to double that.
The midfielder has attracted equal recognition and transfer speculation over the past 18 months for his form in Turin, with Real Madrid, Chelsea and Paris Saint-Germain among those said to be following the 20-year-old’s progress with interest.
Subsequently, and on from director general Beppe Marotta’s recent hints, it is believed that the Old Lady are looking to initiate talks over an improved contract.
The Gazzetta dello Sport indicate that the Bianconeri are willing to quadruple Pogba’s current earnings to €4m a season and extend his deal by a further two years.
Such a move would pull the former Manchester United man up to the same wage bracket as Gianluigi Buffon, Andrea Pirlo and Arturo Vidal and just below high earners Carlos Tevez and Fernando Llorente.
However, it is suggested by the Gazzetta dello Sport that PSG are willing to place an offer of at least €7m-a-year on the table to tempt Pogba, and that Real Madrid and Bayern Munich would both be offering as much as €8m as an annual salary.
