Lippi calls on Juventus to SELL Pogba

Former Juventus boss Marcello Lippi feels they should sell Paul Pogba. Lippi believes it is the same scenario that confronted him when in charge of Juve.

"When I went back to Juventus, [Gianni] Agnelli called me and told me he had to sell Zidane," Lippi told Sky Italia.

"He was the best player in the world, but they gave us 150 billion lire [€77m], he told me not to worry, that it would all be spent on the team.

"We bought, [Gianluigi] Buffon, [Pavel] Nedved and [Lilian] Thuram, regrouped and the team kept winning.

"It would be a massive sacrifice of course, for Juventus to lose Pogba, but it would be for so much money that they could buy three or four players to help them be consistent."
