Arsenal and Manchester City target £17m former United Bosman Paul Pogba
JUVENTUS could be tempted to cash in on midfielder Paul Pogba this summer, with reports suggesting both Arsenal and Manchester City are willing to pay £17m for the Frenchman.
Pogba is becoming an important player for both Juventus and France after making 37 appearances for club and country last season, with his form attracting interest from the Premier League.
The 20-year-old left Manchester United on a free transfer in July 2012, but could return to England this summer with Arsenal and Manchester City tracking the central midfielder.
Reports on the continent suggest a €20 million (£17m) fee could be enough to make Juventus consider selling their number six, which would be all profit after they brought him in as a Bosman.
It is thought that the Gunners and City will submit a formal bid for Pogba in the coming weeks, after enquiring about the player's availability.
Retired Red Devils manager Sir Alex Ferguson was left fuming when Pogba left Old Trafford for Italy, citing a lack of respect from the player in moving on.
But the former Le Havre youngster's decision appears vindicated, having impressed for the Serie A champions during the last campaign.
