Serie A giants Juventus’ president Andrea Agnelli has said that the club would have no choice but to sell their 20-year-old star Paul Pogba if a fair deal comes along.

Agnelli said they wouldn’t be able to hold the youngster back if a bigger club bids for him. He said: “If I was to judge it from a footballers’ point of view, Italy is no longer the final destination but a transit destination.

“I am trying to think what will be of us in two or three years’ time if we get a massive offer for one of the best talents we have today, Pogba, the French 20-year-old.

“Would we be able to retain him? I don’t know. I don’t think at the moment we have the strength to retain such a player.

“Look at what happened to AC Milan. They had to give away Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Thiago Silva to pay the cheques.

“At the end of the day you can be attractive, but you also need to have the economic strength,” concluded the Juventus president.

Pogba had moved from English champions Manchester United to Juventus last summer.
