Allegri: 'Juventus top four in Europe'

By Football Italia staff

Max Allegri warns Paul Pogba and Leonardo Bonucci that “Juventus are now among the top four European clubs and want the Champions League.”

The Coach was speaking to La Gazzetta dello Sport and asked about the huge bids on the table from Manchester United and Manchester City for their star players.

“I am calm about the English rumours. Anyone who has the opportunity to leave Juventus has to consider things very carefully, because right now Juve are among the top four European clubs.

“This is not a selling club that just lets its players go. Pogba belongs to Juve and at the end of the day he too will want to win another Scudetto and hopefully the Champions League.

“We have grown in terms of appeal and awareness of our own capabilities. So far our market this summer has been eight out of 10, bringing in players of international pedigree like Medhi Benatia, Dani Alves and Miralem Pjanic.”

They could well be soon joined by Napoli hitman Gonzalo Higuain, even with his €94m release clause.

“I just hear chatter, but I am a Coach and focus on my team. On August 31 we’ll see where we are. The club focuses on the transfer market and always does it very well.

“Of course great champions are always welcome, because to compete at the top you need quality players.
