Raiola admits Pogba could return to Juventus

Mino Raiola admits Paul Pogba could return to Juventus: ‘It depends on the club’s plans.’

Pogba is out of contract in the summer, so he can sign a pre-contract agreement with any other club from January, leaving United as a free agent at the end of the season.

The Frenchman is on very good terms with the club and with many of his former teammates and Raiola has admitted he could return to Juventus in the summer.

“Paul Pogba is out of contract in June, so we’ll talk with Man Utd and we’ll see what happens,” Raiola said as quoted by Fabrizio Romano.

“Paul still loves Turin. There’s a chance that Pogba will return to Juventus, yes, but it also depends on Juventus plans.”

Juventus already signed Pogba as a free agent in the summer of 2012. The Frenchman spent four seasons in Turin before returning to Manchester United in a €100m deal in 2016.

Several top clubs, including Real Madrid and PSG, have been linked with signing the French international in the summer.

Raiola is on excellent terms with Juventus, as the Bianconeri signed his client Moise Kean from Everton in the summer. Also Matthijs de Ligt is part of the agent’s client list.

Juventus were also in talks to sign Gigio Donnarumma in the summer, but the Italian goalkeeper eventually moved to PSG.

It remains to be seen if Juventus will be able to sign Pogba given that they are trying to lower their wage bill and are open to offering a maximum of €9-10m-a-year after taxes to any new player.
