Juventus "establishes contact" with Paul Pogba and Man Utd Star

Juventus is interested in Paul Pogba's relinquishment to Manchester United this summer and has already made contact with his representatives.

The 26-year-old has been the subject of intense speculation on transfers over the past year, after a high-profile "dispute" with his former United coach, Jose Mourinho, who broke relations between Pogba and the club.

Although he had statistically prospered under the guidance of Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, who took up his post at Old Trafford in December, Pogba sometimes seemed uninterested in United's midfield heart – enduring more and more criticism for his laborious and mediocre performances.

Sky Sports announced that the former Juventus club, which had sold Pogba to United for a record € 105m (£ 89m) in 2016, is interested in the project. Turin.

It is claimed that a contact has already been made with Pogba's agent, Mino Raiola, on a possible return to the Allianz Stadium. United is aware of the contact initiated by I Bianconeri.

Pogba spent four years with the old lady after leaving Old Trafford in 2012 for a free transfer, where he became a pillar of the Juve midfielder. He flourished alongside the experience of Andrea Pirlo and Claudio Marchisio and quickly became one of the mainstays of Juventus as she continued her domination of Serie A.

He returned to Old Trafford three years ago, but was unable to maintain a consistent form – at least for United – which led to a thorough review of his performance.

He has scored 31 goals in 135 games since returning to the club and he has two more years left. United also has the option of extending its contract with the World Cup winner by 12 months, if he so desires.

Fueling the fire, he recently described a possible transfer to Real Madrid as "a dream for everyone", while a return to Juventus could appeal given the success encountered during his stint at the club.

However, it is unlikely that the move will take place in the near future as Juventus is still appointing a new director after Mbadimiliano Allegri leaves.
