The Bianconeri have already knocked back an €80m bid from Barcelona for the French international, though Raiola insisted any suitors would first have to speak with him.
Mino Raiola, the agent of Paul Pogba, admits a transfer to Barcelona or elsewhere ‘depends on Juventus’.
The Bianconeri have already knocked back an €80m bid from Barcelona for the French international, though Raiola insisted any suitors would first have to speak with him.
However, in a brief statement to Spanish newspaper Sport, the agent seems to strike a more conciliatory tone.
“Is Pogba unsellable?” Raiola considered.
“That depends on Juventus.”
The newspaper speculates that the player’s representative may be seeking to win an improved contract for his client.
Pogba only signed a new deal with the Bianconeri last October, which is scheduled to run until 2019 and will earn him €4.5m per season.
Sport believes that Raiola is angling for that to be increased to around €6.5m, in the knowledge that the likes of Barcelona and Paris Saint-Germain would be willing to offer even more as a salary should Pogba wish to leave the Old Lady.
