Paul Pogba set to seal Juventus switch

Juventus general director Giuseppe Marotta has confirmed that Paul Pogba is on the brink of joining the club from Manchester United.

Pogba's future has been the subject of much speculation over recent months, with the player seemingly torn between renewing his Old Trafford contract and moving to Turin.

However, Marotta's latest comments suggest that the 19-year-old has decided against renewing his contract, and that talks are now in an advanced stage.

"We have lured him away from Manchester United," he told Corriere dello Sport.

"We respected the rules. Pogba, for his own reasons, didn't intend to renew.

"We informed the club and we are now waiting for an answer. Talks are well advanced."

Pogba joined the Red Devils in controversial circumstances three years ago, going on to make just seven appearances for the club.
