Beppe Marotta: 'Paul Pogba will sign new contract'

Juventus director-general Beppe Marotta has played down speculation that has linked Paul Pogba with a move away from the club by insisting that the midfielder will sign a new contract.

Previous speculation has claimed that the French international was a transfer target of Real Madrid, while more recently Paris Saint-Germain were said to be readying a bid.

However, Marotta has claimed that the former Manchester United player is to agree to fresh terms at the Juventus Stadium.

"There is nothing more to add. We've no intention of selling Pogba. On the contrary, he'll renew his contract," the official told Tuttosport.

The 20-year-old has scored five goals in 17 Serie A performance this season.
