Juventus set for talks with Man Utd midfielder Pogba this week

Juventus are set for talks with departing Manchester United midfielder Paul Pogba this week.

Pogba is expected to leave Old Trafford when his contract expires in the summer and a host of top European clubs, including Manchester City and Paris Saint-Germain, are thought to be interested in securing his services.

The French star, who has endured a dismal season and has been booed and jeered by his own fans, spent four years at Juventus before moving back to United for a then world record fee of £89.3million.

Goal says Juve will discuss signing the player with his entourage next week.

A potential stumbling block to the 29-year-old returning to Juventus is his wage demands, believed to be around £9.3million a year on a four-year contract.

But the Serie 'A' giants are hoping to persuade Pogba to lower that figure to facilitate a move.
