Juventus ask Adidas for help raising Paul Pogba funds?

Juventus will reportedly ask for help from Adidas in order to complete a deal for Manchester United midfielder Paul Pogba in this summer's transfer window.

The 26-year-old recently admitted that he was keen to leave United ahead of the 2018-19 campaign and the Old Lady have been strongly linked with a move for the former midfielder.

Pogba, meanwhile, has reportedly been in contact with new Juve boss Maurizio Sarri in the hope of pushing through a return to Turin this summer.

According to Corriere dello Sport, in order to raise the £135m fee wanted by the Red Devils, the Italian champions will ask their sponsors Adidas for help.

Pogba, who scored 16 times and provided 11 assists in 47 appearances for United last season, also has the German sportswear label as his personal sponsor.

Real Madrid have also been linked with a swoop for the France international this summer, although the 2018 World Cup winner is said to favour a return to Juventus Stadium.
