Manchester United midfielder Paul Pogba 'prefers Juventus over Real Madrid'

Pogba 'prefers Juventus over Real Madrid'

Manchester United midfielder Paul Pogba would reportedly prefer to rejoin Juventus during the summer transfer window.

Pogba revealed on Sunday that he was keen to take on a new challenge this summer, three years after moving to Old Trafford for a club-record fee.

Real Madrid have been touted as Pogba's most likely destination, partly due to a mutual admiration between the 26-year-old and French compatriot Zinedine Zidane.

However, Italian journalist Gianluca Di Marzio claims that Pogba is angling for a second spell with Juventus, who want to re-sign the World Cup winner.

The report suggests that Juventus will work on attempting to meet Pogba's wage demands before considering whether to make a formal approach to United.

United are said to be sticking to their £150m valuation of the playmaker, despite just two years remaining on his existing contract.
