Italian giants Juventus would be ready to pay £125 million to acquire Paul Pogba from Manchester United and sweeten the deal by making Aaron Ramsey and Adrian Rabiot available for the Red Devil's consideration. It's unclear though if the offer still excludes the reported £83 million selling price of the World Cup winner.
The package offer will be made in light of the expectations that United will finally allow Pogba to exit from Old Trafford at the end of the season. The 26-year-old has, for the most part, been sidelined in the season due to injury woes.
And despite the declaration from United boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer that the midfielder will remain part of the Red Devils until the end of his contract, it is now believed that Pogba is on his way out. According to Metro, the plan is to offload the United star and use the money earned to recruited targeted talents, which the report identified as Jack Grealish and Harry Winks.
As there was no mention in the report, it's unclear if the players put on the table by the Turin club are of interest to Solskjaer, who has been saying that his build-up plans for United will largely call for the hiring of certified goal-scorers.
If true that Pogba has a higher chance of rejoining his former club, he will be returning to the side that saw him flourished in a playing spell that lasted four seasons. In 2016, the French superstar left Juventus for United, which is the same team that nurtured his skills before heading to Turin in 2012.
Pogba's agent, Mino Raiola, has confirmed that discussions are now ongoing between him and Juventus, and made clear that multiple possibilities await for Pogba by the end of the present campaign.
"I talk to Pavel Nedved and Juventus about many things, including about Pogba and other players, as is only right for a big club. You need to get information, see what's happening, put down a few hypotheses, dream a little," said Raiola, and per Bleacher Report.
The super-agent likewise hinted that while Pogba has intentions of making his return to the pitch for United soon, he is now in the process of considering other transfer scenarios. That should mean Pogba getting out of United will not necessarily bring him to Italy.
"Along with Juventus, there are other clubs in for Paul, but right now he is with Manchester United. There's nothing impossible in the transfer market, that has already been proved by Juve, PSG, Real Madrid. The achievement of impossible things is part of this business," Raiola shared.
Last summer, Pogba demanded to be traded, and his preferred destination then pointed to Real Madrid, but a deal failed materialized.
