Juventus are still interested in a move for Paul Pogba and have made two proposals to Manchester United, according to reports. The two sides apparently differ in their valuation of the Frenchman, and are actively working on a deal for him to return to Italy.
Paul Pogba looks unlikely to play any time soon for Manchester United after he underwent ankle surgery on Tuesday.
And after he returns, he may not be at the club for too much longer.
Pogba continues to be linked with a move away from Old Trafford, after admitting last year that he wanted a new challenge.
Real Madrid were believed to be the frontrunners to sign him at the time, but were unable to conclude a deal given their financial outlay of £275million, which included the signings of Eden Hazard, Luka Jovic and Ferland Mendy.

United are less convinced, however, and have apparently told them to include Adrien Rabiot in the deal.
The French midfielder has barely played since his free transfer to Juve from PSG.
Once one of the brightest talents in the world, he has only started six Serie A games for Juve this term as well as two in the Champions League.
The Red Devils received a blow in their pursuit of Rabiot earlier on Tuesday, however, as he insisted he would be staying at the Allianz Stadium.
