Chelsea 'lining up offer for Juventus star Paul Pogba'

Chelsea are allegedly preparing a bid for Juventus midfielder Paul Pogba.

The Blues are planning to use the £40m they raked in from the sale of David Luiz to Paris Saint-Germain to part-fund the deal, according to Goal.com.

Juventus are said to be keen to keep hold of the France international, but could reportedly be swayed by a bid in the region of £65m.

Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho will apparently table an offer for Pogba after Atletico Madrid striker Diego Costa's proposed £35m move to Stamford Bridge has been finalised.

Pogba joined Juventus from Manchester United on a free transfer in 2012.
