Paul Pogba is open to re-joining Juventus this summer after Euro 2020 but faces a fight to leave Manchester United, according to his agent Mino Raiola.

United are braced for a third successive summer in which Pogba will seek a move away from Old Trafford, with the future of the France midfielder likely to have a significant influence on the club’s transfer plans.

Pogba - who is currently sidelined after undergoing ankle surgery early last month - will effectively have two years left on his contract this summer as United have an option to extend the deal to June 2022.

But Raiola has again reiterated his client’s desire to leave, with Real Madrid Pogba’s other main suitors.

Asked by reporters after Juventus’s Coppa Italia tie against AC Milan on Thursday if Pogba returning to Turin was an option, Raiola said: “Italy is like home for Paul. He’d like to come back to Juventus but we’ll see what will happen after the Euros.

“Pogba wants to play at the best level but he can’t escape by Man United if they’re in a difficult situation.”

Juventus explored the option of re-signing Pogba last summer but were unwilling to offer more than the £89 million fee United paid to sign the Frenchman from the Italian club in 2016.

Pogba had set his sights on a move to Madrid but Real’s offer of £27.6m plus Colombia forward James Rodriguez got nowhere near United’s £160m valuation. Twelve months earlier, Pogba had craved a move to Barcelona but United ruled out any prospect of selling him.

United are unlikely to demand as much as £160m this summer but Raiola believes Pogba’s desired exit could be complicated if the club remain in a “difficult” situation.
