According to famous Italian journalist Fabrizio Romano, Juventus is possibly eyeing having its former French star Paul Pogba back, who is currently having an average time at Manchester United. “The big dream for Juventus is Paul Pogba, it’s always been Paul Pogba,” he said on his Here We Go podcast.
“Many times, we say they wanted him and they were planning to sign him last summer. So, Paul Pogba is the dream for Juventus and let’s see what happens with Manchester United. But, if they sell Ronaldo, this would be key to signing Paul Pogba. If they don’t then this won’t be easy,” he added.
