Mino Raiola has ruled out the possibility of Paul Pogba leaving Juventus in January.
The French midfielder’s agent spoke with Mediaset and assured them that his client will not be leaving Juve this year, despite strong interest from Barcelona, who have already seen an €80m bid turned down.
“Pogba is no longer a surprise,” Mino Raiola told the news outlet.
“He’s not a youngster just being discovered. A player with his talent is known to everybody. There have been offers for him, and they’re still there.
“Last summer he decided to stay another year at Juve, and he kept his word. We’re not preoccupied with thoughts of his future, we’re thinking about that.
“Paul is a lad who decides with his heart, and at the moment he’s focused on Juventus. I can categorically rule out a move in January.
“In the future we’ll see, we’ll talk at the end of July.”
I fucking hate Mino for his talkie talkie shit!!!
If Allegri remains coach next season, Pogba is gone this summer. If we pick up a better coach, he could probably be persuaded into staying another season.
what are some examples of coaches that would convince pogba to stay? i feel that allegri is good enough, and that bringing in another top player would do more to convince him to stay (for longer) but interested in hearing who you are thinking about in terms of coaches
Ancelotti, Guardiola, Mourinho, Lippi. They aren’t likely to be our coach, but those are a few that have what it takes to convince someone like Pogba to stick around. Allegri is not on their level in any way.
I’m with you on the first two. But Lippi is past his prime and I wouldn’t want Mourinho anywhere near Juve. I believe he’s lost the plot. Even when he wins, his brand of soccer is hard to watch. If Juve were ever to get a foreign coach, I’d love to see Bielsa.
