Milan, Inter, Roma passed on Pogba

By Football Italia staff

Paul Pogba’s agent has revealed that both Inter and Milan missed out on signing the Juventus midfielder, as did Roma.



Mino Raiola, who also represents Mario Balotelli and Zlatan Ibrahimovic, has given a lengthy interview to the Gazzetta dello Sport, and reveals that the Milanese clubs missed out on his client.



“Milan wanted to take him in co-ownership with Genoa and send him there,” Raiola revealed.



“We rejected that. Inter said they didn't want to be discourteous to [Manchester United manager Sir Alex] Ferguson.



“With Juve, the deal was this. You take him, you give him a first team salary right away, you take responsibility and you don’t loan him out.



“The first person I offered him to was [Roma sporting director Walter] Sabatini.



“He told me, ‘Raiola, I’ve not been offered anyone good’. I took a pen, and wrote ‘Pogba’.”
