Tuttosport: Pogba to Juve in Jan

By Football Italia staff

Paul Pogba wants to force through a Juventus move in January due to his poor relationship with Jose Mourinho and Manchester United, claims Tuttosport.

According to the Turin-based newspaper, Pogba is so determined to reunite with his old Bianconeri teammates and join the Cristiano Ronaldo-backed project that he is prepared to bail mid-season.

It would be an extraordinary twist in the tale, especially as Juve and Manchester United are going to face off in the Champions League group stage.

Due to the new rules laid down by UEFA this season, that wouldn’t make Pogba cup-tied if he were to switch teams for the second half of the campaign.

The 25-year-old France international is now a World Cup winner, but he was a teenage free agent when joining Juventus from Manchester United in August 2012.

He returned to Manchester for a then-world record fee of €105m plus bonuses in 2016, but his relationship with Mourinho deteriorated to the point of breaking down completely.

The Bianconeri have set their sights firmly on winning the Champions League this term, ending a 22-year drought in Turin.
