Juventus confirm Paul Pogba has signed new contract

Juventus have confirmed that Paul Pogba has put pen to paper on a new five-year contract with the Serie A giants.

The 21-year-old, who moved to Turin from Manchester United in 2012, was linked with a return to Old Trafford in the last few months due to his impressive form in Italy.

Chelsea and Manchester City were also touted as possible destinations for the 21-year-old, but widespread reports claimed this week that Pogba has decided to commit his future to Juventus.

Today, via the club's official Twitter account, chief executive Beppe Marotta confirmed that Pogba is now officially contracted to the outfit until 2019.

Pogba, who has made nine appearances this season, has scored one goal so far in the campaign.
