Agent slams 'clueless' Gary Lineker over overrated Paul Pogba comments

Paul Pogba's agent Mino Raiola slams Gary Lineker for describing his client as overrated.

Paul Pogba's agent Mino Raiola has hit out at Gary Lineker after the former England international described the Juventus midfielder as overrated.

While watching Pogba play in France's 2-1 win over the Republic of Ireland at Euro 2016, Lineker, who anchors the BBC's Match of the Day, criticised the Juventus star's quality on Twitter.

Pogba has been linked with moves to numerous top-level clubs, including Real Madrid and Manchester United, and some reports have claimed that the 23-year-old has a £70m price tag.

In response to Lineker's tweets, Raiola told RAI Sport: "When someone is paid to talk about something, that doesn't mean he knows what he is talking about - Lineker is one of those. When Gary Lineker talks about Pogba, he hasn't the slightest idea what he is talking about.

"I remember he said if Claudio Ranieri won the Premier League title with Leicester City, he would present his show in his underpants. That tells you everything.

"Considering the qualities Paul has and the prices I see around Europe, I think Paul is underrated. How much is he worth? The maximum amount a club is prepared to pay for him."

Pogba joined Juve on a free transfer in 2012 after being released by Manchester United.
