Juventus chief Pavel Nedved is joining in on the assault to prise Paul Pogba away from Manchester United.

Last week, Juve sports chief Fabio Paratici was in London and met with United officials at their Mayfair office on Thursday. Talks were centred around a multi-player swap.

Meanwhile, Tuttosport says Nedved is traveling to Monaco to meet with Pogba's agent, Mino Raiola. A summit is scheduled as Juve seek to accelerate the process.

And sandwiched between the two meetings was Pogba's bombshell on Sunday in Tokyo, where the midfielder declared he hoped to make a move away.

Pogba said, "Like you said, there is a lot of talking and a lot of thinking as well.

"For me I have been for three years in Manchester and have been doing great, some good moments and some bad moments, like everybody. Like everywhere else.

"After this season and everything that happened this season, with my season being my best season as well... I think for me it could be a good time to have a new challenge somewhere else.

"I am thinking of this - to have a new challenge somewhere else."
