Juventus quote Manchester United £60m for Paul Pogba?

Juventus have reportedly informed Manchester United that they would not consider parting with Paul Pogba for anything less than £60m.

The French international left Old Trafford in controversial circumstances during the summer of 2012, when it was believed that both Sir Alex Ferguson and chief executive David Gill baulked at his wage demands.

However, new United manager Louis van Gaal is eager to bolster his midfield options by signing the 21-year-old, according to The Express.

The report added, though, that Juve would demand a fee that would make Pogba the third-most expensive footballer in the history of the game behind Real Madrid pair Cristiano Ronaldo and Gareth Bale.

As well as Pogba, another report today has linked United with moves for three German internationals.
