Chelsea, Man Utd and Man City given Paul Pogba hope by Juventus director

Paul Pogba looks likely to stay at Juventus

JUVENTUS director Giuseppe Marotta has admitted the Italian champions would be powerless if Paul Pogba was offered a 'crazy salary' by one of Europe's elite.

Pogba has been the subject of intense speculation this summer over his future with the likes of Chelsea, Man Utd, Man City and Barcelona all interested in the Frenchman.

Juventus have been resolute in their determination to hold onto the 22-year-old but Marotta has revealed the club will not pay over the odds to keep him.

 

"Pogba's future? In modern football the decision of the player is paramount, like with (Carlos) Tevez," Marotta told Quotidiano Sportivo. 

"It's obvious that we would like to keep him until he stops playing, but we can't afford to do anything crazy in terms of salaries and some clubs can guarantee twice what we can."

 

Barcelona are said to be at the front of the queue to sign Pogba, who has developed into one of Europe's hottest properties since arriving in Turin in 2012 from United.

In his time with Juve, Pogba has won three consecutive Serie A titles and one Coppa Italia.
