Back Serie A: Juventus dismiss Paul Pogba transfer rumours

Midfielder Paul Pogba will not be sold, says Juventus general manager Giuseppe Marotta, despite interest from Europe's biggest clubs. Manchester United are rumoured to be preparing a staggering £77m bid for the 21-year-old Frenchman, who was a Red Devils player before joining Juventus in 2012.

"Every European club is watching him and been in contact," Marotta said. "However, we want to have a strong team made up of champions. We have an important player in Pogba and we don't have a need to sell him." Pogba was a key player for Juventus last season, when they clinched their third consecutive Serie A title, scoring seven goals and delivering seven assists in 36 appearances.

"What was a promising player has become a reality," Marotta added. Pogba joined Juventus from Manchester United on a free transfer in 2012 and recently signed a contract extension until 2019. Chelsea and Manchester City are also rumoured to be interested in the player. "He is one of the most expensive players on the market," Pogba's agent Mino Raiola said. "Considering his age, he has room for improvement and he is among the best."

Juventus are 1/3 at Bet365 to win their fourth consecutive Serie A title.
