#4 Juventus preparing player plus cash deal for Pogba

Manchester United v Cardiff City - Premier League

Talk about competition! Just days ago we reported in this segment that Real Madrid were willing to offer three players in a swap deal for Paul Pogba. The Guardian now reports that Juventus are also preparing a player plus cash deal for the Frenchman!

The Serie A champions were actually looking to add Lazio midfielder Sergej Milinkovic-Savic to their team this summer. They had even submitted a bid of €60 million for the Serbian, but their interest cooled down when Lazio set an asking price of €90 million on their player. As such, Juventus had turned their attention elsewhere and their sights had inevitably fallen on their former star. We had reported in this segment yesterday that Juventus were keen on bringing Pogba back to Turin, but his hefty price tag is a problem.

The Old Lady heavily invested in Cristiano Ronaldo last summer, which means another big money move this summer is highly unlikely. Reports are now surfacing that Juventus are willing to add either of Paulo Dybala, Alex Sandro or Douglas Costa in a player plus cash deal for Pogba. All they are waiting for, right now, is the green signal from United.
