Juventus were desperate to sign a striker last summer and had been linked with multiple high-profile strikers before they ultimately landed Alvaro Morata. The Bianconeri signed Morata from Atletico Madrid on loan until the end of the 2020-21 season.

Atletico Madrid are now happy with Luis Suarez and Morata has done a decent job in Turin. Now it is time for Juventus to finally take a stance on whether or not they want to make Morata's loan deal permanent.

As per Tuttosport (via ilBianconero), Alvaro Morata has told the club's top brass that he wants to kick on at Juventus. The report adds that Juventus also share the same intention and as such, we expect to see a permanent deal being executed in the coming weeks.

Juventus are quite interested in bringing Paul Pogba back from Manchester United. The Frenchman enjoyed an illustrious stint in Turin after joining them for a free in 2012.

He has impressed sporadically for Manchester United but his agent Mino Raiola opened a can of worms by claiming this will be Pogba's last season with Manchester United. The Bianconeri are now willing to pay between €8 million to €9 million in annual wages to the Frenchman, according to Goal.

Even though Juventus are willing to break their salary cap, the sum they are offering is still well short of how much Paul Pogba earns at Manchester United. He pockets £15 million a year at Manchester United, as per the report.
