Rumour Has It: Juventus to offer three players in move for Pogba
Maybe Juventus are not ready to give up on signing Manchester United star Paul Pogba just yet.
Pogba, 26, has been linked with a return to Turin and a move to Real Madrid as he looks for an Old Trafford exit.
But, just as it looked like Juve were struggling and Madrid was the midfielder's most likely destination, that may have changed.
