Juventus Sports Director Discusses Paul Pogba Transfer Projects

Juventus' sports director, Fabio Paratici, admitted that Paul Pogba was one of the players under discussion as part of the club's summer transfer plans.

Pogba is linked to a return to his former country, discussions having already taken place with his agent, Mino Raiola.

Now, Paratici has added fuel to the fire by revealing that it is possible that the Man Utd star is moving this summer.

However, the head of Juve admitted that any new approach should be approved by the new manager.

Paratici was questioned about choosing the club for Federico Chiesa of Fiorentina, another reported target of the old lady.

"Federico Chiesa? We certainly have a competitive team," Paratici told Goal. "As far as the market is concerned, we are waiting for the name of the coach and we will carry out the necessary evaluations after the announcement.

"Pogba? Similarly, we will talk with the new coach."

The Serie A club has yet to name a successor to his outgoing boss Mbadimiliano Allegri, with Maurizio Sarri of Chelsea strongly linked.

Although he won the first trophy of his career as a manager at the Blues, Sarri recently confessed, in an interview with Vanity Fair, that he missed his native Italy.

"I have the impression that something is missing. The past year has been heavy," Sarri said. "I'm starting to feel the weight of distant friends and elderly parents that I rarely see.

"But at my age, I only make professional choices, I will not be able to work until I'm 20. It's hard work, the bench.

"When I go home to Tuscany, I feel alien.I have been sleeping 30 nights in this city in recent years."

It is not known if Sarri would like Pogba, but Paradici also dispelled rumors suggesting that Juve was close to an appointment, confirming that there were a number of names in the frame for the post.

Paradici said: "We have clear ideas and we are working on it, there is no time limit to make a decision, it will take a little time, then you will know the new coach."
