4 reasons why Juventus should not re-sign Paul Pogba

#3 They would be better suited spending the money on more critical signings

De Ligt is more important to Juventus than Paul Pogba

Paul Pogba was signed for the sum of £89m by Manchester United in the summer of 2016 and given the huge amount expended to get him and his increased marketability, it stands to reason that the Old Trafford outfit would not let their prized asset leave on the cheap.

The 26-year-old is currently one of the most valued players in the world and reports have emanated that United would only let him leave for in excess of €150m.

Given that the powerhouse midfielder would also cost in about €30m (before tax) in salaries, the expensive nature of his transfer really begins to unfold.

This is money that would serve Juventus' interests elsewhere, for as already stated, they really have no pressing need for his services. There are also a number of more necessary signings which the club needs to make in order to be more competitive on the continent.

For starters, their defense is aging badly and in need of augmenting and with Matthijs de Ligt available for £62m and less than half the salary payment of the Frenchman, it makes more sense to spend less money on a priority signing.

With reports emanating that the Ajax skipper has decided to sign for Juventus, spending such a huge amount on a somewhat unnecessary signing would not make much sense from a sporting perspective.
