Paul Pogba Transfer News: Juventus end their pursuit for Manchester United sensational midfielder

Paul Pogba Transfer News: Juventus end their pursuit to make Paul Pogba return at Juventus as Manchester United are hesitant to sell him.

Juventus were massively interested to land Paul Pogba this summer, after the French International fueled his transfer speculations with a controversial statement.

Therefore, Juventus were aroused to pose an interest for Pogba, as the uncertainty over his future with Manchester United kept growing with further advancements.

However, according to a report by the Daily Mail, as per the Football Italia, Juventus have finally withdrawn their efforts to sign the World Cup winning midfielder.

Since, Manchester United still have two years left in the contract with Pogba, they have a huge control over the negotiations for Pogba, so the Red Devils have allegedly set a price-tag of £150 million, which Juventus would have considered numerous times before matching.

Thus, it is being speculated that for similar reason Juventus have backed out from the negotiations and have informed Manchester United that they are looking for other prospect.

Now, this move gives a clear way to Real Madrid, as they are also targeting Pogba to complete their summer squad overhaul. It is no hidden fact that Real Madrid manager Zinedine Zidane wants to add the services of his compatriot in Los Merengues’ squad.

However, it will be difficult for Real Madrid to get the 26-year-old player from Manchester United, as the Red Devils are not ready to sell him this summer, and will further continue to inflate his price.

On the other side, Real Madrid are ready to break the bank for the French midfielder, in order to bolster their squad, but a price so high, in the end can even stop Real Madrid.

Only DailyMail reported it, so don’t take it seriously. But if true, Juve should go for SMS. Though, I think only after few sales, that could be possible. #Juventus can’t afford two luxury buys (DeLigt & Pogba) if it doesn’t sell. I would sell Cancelo + Kean, if we can get Pogba.
