Frenchman could stay in Italy

 

Highly rated midfielder Paul Pogba may now decide to stay with Juventus next season, reports Italian publication Tuttosport. 

 

The France international has been strongly linked with moves to Barcelona, Chelsea and Manchester City in recent months, with some news outlets suggesting a deal taking Pogba to Barcelona is close to completion. 

 

The reigning European champions are prepared to break the bank in order to take the 22-year-old to Spain. 

 

However, in what would be a spectacular U-turn, Pogba may now turn down the overtures of Europe's elite in order to remain in Turin.

After the departures of Arturo Vidal and Andrea Pirlo, Juventus have struggled to find their best form this campaign and currently sit seventh in Serie A. 

 

Pogba, meanwhile, has failed to replicate his best performances in a Juventus shirt this term, with his WhoScored rating (7.25) his lowest in his four seasons in Italy.
