Juventus have lured Pogba away from Manchester United, says Marotta

Juventus general director Giuseppe Marotta claims that the Serie A side are on the verge of signing Manchester United midfielder Paul Pogba.

The French teenager's future has long been a source of speculation and Marotta has stated that discussions are at an advanced stage, seemingly closing the door on the youngster extending his deal with the Premier League team.

"We have lured [Pogba] away from Manchester United," he told Corriere dello Sport. "We respected the rules.

"Pogba, for his own reasons, didn't intend to renew [his contract with United]. We informed the club and we are now waitinig for an answer. Talks are well advanced."

Marotta also played down reports that Juventus are interested in signing Manchester City striker Mario Balotelli and Napoli's Edinson Cavani.

"We have never thought about Balotelli. He doesn't fit the profile we are looking at, a profile which isn't based solely on technical ability," he added.

"Cavani? You always have to consider the wishes of the clubs which own the players."

You have to consider what the boss wants? Agnelli asks for Cavani?

Just like Krasic the new Nedved :vagi:

I don't like these kinds of comparisons really, huge number of players were labelled the same.

Pogba is more Nedved then Zidane. Just because he's from France doesn't make him similar to Zizou at all..... If Pogba should be a legend he would be Viera
