Juventus contact Pogba's agent Raiola

Paul Pogba's wish to leave Man Utd is nothing new, with the player trying to engineer a move out of the club since winning the World Cup this summer.

While it initially seemed as though he would be heading to Barcelona, the midfielder's former club Juventus has now emereged as the favourite to gain his signature, should he leave the OId Trafford club.

According to 'TuttoSport', the Italian champions are playing the long game in the pursuit of Pogba, and have contacted his controversial agent Mino Raiola about his avaliability. 

It seems as though they will try to get their man next summer, with two possible deals being considered. The first would be a loan move with the option to buy him afterwards for €70 million, or a cash-plus-player move including Alex Sandro.

Regardless of the contact with Raiola, Man Utd will not let their prize asset go without a fight, even if his relationship with manager Jose Mourinho is in tatters.
