Paul Pogba Transfer News: Juventus to beat Real Madrid for Manchester United's star signature

Juventus have started negotiations to sign Paul Pogba from Manchester United. 

Paul Pogba has been linked with a move away from Manchester United for a long time now. With the failure to qualify for the Champions League, uncertainty has been thrown over his future at Old Trafford. It is a regular acceptance that the midfielder has not lived up to his beliefs since his arrival at the club in 2016.

The French International is reportedly so keen to move away from Manchester United and is wanted by Zinedine Zidane as part of his major rebuilding process at Real Madrid. But, the reliable Gianluca Di Marzio has said that Juventus are coy on resigning him from Old Trafford in the summer transfer window.

Currently, without a manager, the Old Lady will try to press for his signature in the summer transfer window. Mino Raiola and Pogba have been speaking to Juventus Sporting Director Fabio Paratici about this possibility. Initial contacts have been made, but Manchester United will try to keep him at any cost.

The Red Devils are demanding more than £89 million which is the amount they paid to Juventus three years before. Reports added that Manchester United quoted a price of £150 million, which put off the Los Blancos. However, we have to wait if it remains the case for Juventus also.

The Serie A giants will be willing to swap some players, with Paulo Dybala and Joao Cancelo most likely to head the exit door in the summer window.

Pogba initially joined Juventus from United in 2012 for a measly fee of £1.2 million and won four Serie A title during his stay at Turin.

Here’s how Twitter has reacted..

What’s next?

Manchester United are anticipated to spend heavily in the summer transfer window. The Red Devils are linked with plenty of players, although some deals are not materializing at the early stage of negotiations. It will be an interesting case as the player will be eyeing to move back to Italy.
