It looks like Seria A giants Juventus haven’t given up on attempts to bring back Paul Pogba. Recent reports suggest that Juve is now prepared to part ways with three of their starters in order to persuade Manchester United to give up the French star midfielder.
According to influential Italian outlet Corriere dello Sport, Juventus’ latest bid for Pogba includes fee and fullback Joao Cancelo, winger Douglas Costa and midfielder Blaise Matuidi. It remains unclear, however, whether Man Utd is interested in this package. The Premier League side reportedly would prefer to do “only cash” deal and has put a $200 million price tag on the player.
Paul Pogba spent his youth career with Man Utd, before joining Juventus as a free agent. Pogba established himself as one of the world’s best midfielders in Italy, which prompted United to bring him back in a then-record transfer worth around $112 million. While the 26-year-old had a successful start of his second stint in England, he recently became discontent with the lack of club’s competitiveness and would welcome a change of scenery.
Besides Juventus, other big European clubs have also shown interest in Pogba in recent months. La Liga powerhouse Real Madrid has been especially keen on adding him to their squad, but the club likely needs to sell some players if they want to facilitate the move. The list of players that Madrid could offload to fund Pogba move includes Isco and Marco Asensio.
