Pogba will end up at the filth he has to, juve need the dosh back.
Reportedly they don't need to sell Pogba (Italian media is reporting this). Here's one Juve fan's reporting of the situation, criticising the Guardian's reporting:
You haven't been keeping up with this story have you guardian? we're very much splitting the cost of this, payments will be amortised, we have a 5m discount already plus we have given them the pick of several of our decent but surplus squad players and their chairman De Laurentis is currently considering which of them to take. If he takes 2 that will be €30-50m off the price. In summary, no it doesn't mean Pogba will be sold and if he does, it will still be at top dollar.
Word is, our excellent market may convince him to stay anyhow, but I feel we should take the money while it's still there, I get the feeling it won't be so grand a year from now.
Whether Higuain is worth it., we will have to see, a record goal haul can't be argued with but I watched all of those finals with Argentina and his failures there are disconcerting.
This actually could mean they keep Pogba for one more season.
For him to leave now really does not look so good for him either from a team trying to challenge for the CL now. Juve genuinely look like they could compete for the CL title, as they've also added Pjanic, Alves, a well regarded Croatian winger for £19m (Pjaca - also paid in installments to lessen the blow) and Benatia on loan. If Pogba waits a year, he can have a real chance to go out as a CL champion, and increase his value further, and then who cares if he goes to Utd, or maybe Real Madrid or someone else (PSG?) come in for him with even stupider money.
Utd could very well be snubbed...again.
