Giuseppe Marotta: 'Paul Pogba is not for sale'

Juventus general director Giuseppe Marotta has insisted that Paul Pogba is not for sale.

Since arriving at Juve from Manchester United in 2012, the 21-year-old has developed into one of the best midfielders in European football.

It has been reported that United are preparing a £70m move to bring the Frenchman back to Old Trafford, but Marotta has insisted that the former Le Havre youngster is not for sale.

"What was a promising player has become a reality," Marotta told Sky Italia.

"Every European club is watching him and have been in contact with us. We, however, want to have a strong team made up of champions.

"We have an important player in Pogba and we don't have a need to sell him."

Pogba departed United after becoming frustrated with his lack of first-team opportunities.
