The agent of Juventus midfielder Paul Pogba insists his client will not be moving in the January transfer window, amidst reported interest from several clubs.
Manchester United, Chelsea and Real Madrid have been heavily linked with a move for the former Red Devils trainee in the mid-season transfer window.
While Pogba’s representative, Mino Raiola, says the France international won’t be moving this month, he refused to rule out the possibility of his client departing the Italian club at the end of the current campaign.
Raiola toldSky Sports News HQ: “Paul renewed his contract in Italy. There is a five-year deal with Juventus and what June and July brings, we will see in June and July.
“He will stay here this window in Italy and after that it’s also up to Juventus and up to himself to see what are the possibilities and what are the things to do.
“I have been in football long enough to say that I cannot foresee the future. Today Paul Pogba is the most expensive player if he would be on the market – that’s the risk, that’s normal; there are only a few clubs that can afford him.
“Let’s say that I am aware of the interest that there is around Paul, obviously, and without naming them, everybody that knows a little bit about football knows that there are only eight clubs that can afford him.
That’s the eight clubs that will get into the scramble or the battle to have him.”
Despite refusing to name the clubs that are interested in acquiring the services of Pogba, Raiola did move to clarify his player’s feelings for former employers, Manchester United.
He added: “Paul has always said he is not angry with Manchester United – you need to move on.
“So there is no personal grudge against Manchester United. On the contrary, he holds Manchester United very dear and has very nice memories.”
