As per the reports, the Old Lady are looking to sell Costa for €40 million. However, they wouldn't mind lowering it to €30 million as well. Costa was bought for €15 million and Juve want at least twice that amount for him now.

Paul Pogba hints at Manchester United stay
After being widely linked with a return to Juventus, Paul Pogba seems to have now gone back on his decision to leave. The midfielder hinted at a Manchester United stay following their win over Leicester on the last day of the Premier League season, thereby qualifying for the Champions League.
Manchester United, boosted by the arrival of Bruno Fernandes, put on quite a show in the league in the final month to secure a Champions League spot and have become an exciting project under Solskjaer. There's a good feeling about the side and Pogba is a vital part of the United puzzle.
