Juventus are more familiar with what Paul Pogba can bring to the table than any other club, and they seem ready to reunite with the current Manchester United star.
Paul Pogba is receiving a great deal of interest from Real Madrid and Juventus heading into the summer 2020 transfer window, and while Zinedine Zidane and Pogba seem to have a strong relationship that could lead to the center midfielder dreaming of a career at the Santiago Bernabeu, the Bianconeri look like early favorites.
According to a report from Le10 Sport, via Football-Italia.net, Juventus have started transfer discussions with Pogba’s super-agent Mino Raiola.
It looks like things will kick into high gear after there was no shortage of speculation linking Juve with an attempt at a Pogba reunion.
Pogba played for Juve from 2012-2013 to 2015-2016, making it to a Champions League Final and establishing himself as one of the world’s best players before being a record-breaking signing for Premier League powerhouse Manchester United. Now that United have failed to support Pogba adequately, it appears it’s time for the midfielder to seek his next challenge.
Real could be an option, but Juve have the biggest need for the superstar center midfielder. And if they can provide the right package to the Red Devils, they can land their man.
The Bianconeri are scouring Europe for midfield upgrades. Sandro Tonali and Arthur Melo are young players who can help a lot, while Adrien Rabiot and Miralem Pjanic will be used to land the targets of their choosing. But the best player available is, by far, Pogba.
It’s unclear how much Juventus would have to pay United for Pogba’s services, but they will do whatever they can to reduce the price by using Rabiot, Aaron Ramsey, or anyone else Ed Woodward and Co. will want from the Old Lady of Turin.
As for negotiations with Raiola, the Bianconeri will do whatever they can to make sure they meet both the player’s and agent’s demands. Pogba is a championship-type signing.
