Juventus Director Pavel Nedved Discusses Reported Paul Pogba Interest

Speculation linking Juventus star Paul Pogba with a summer exit from Turin has intensified after Bianconeri director and club icon Pavel Nedved revealed that Paris Saint-Germain have made a move for the midfielder's services.

Speaking to French newspaper Le Parisien (h/t Football Italia), Nedved stated that PSG have lodged a bid to bring Pogba back to his native France, adding that La Liga giants Real Madrid and Barcelona are in pursuit:

“Yes, we have received an offer from Paris Saint-Germain for Paul. But they are not the only club to want him. Real Madrid and Barcelona are also interested in the player.”

The report claims that Pogba could be worth up to €100 million, which would limit the number of clubs able to invest in his signature to a very select few.

Juve will undoubtedly look to keep the 22-year-old in Turin for as long as they can, but the Serie A giants and reigning league champions aren't able to compete financially with the clubs mentioned by Nedved.

A switch to Ligue 1 may be of some interest to Pogba, who moved to Manchester United as a teenager following his emergence at Le Havre.

However, Real and Barca—the latter of whom are suspended from buying players until 2016—have each demonstrated massive spending power in recent years and are sure to be interested in the France international.
