Pogba, 22, has been linked with a switch away from the Turin clubs for over a year.
The France international is understood to have caught the eye of Barcelona and Chelsea.
Barca tried to push through a deal last summer but failed in their bid.
And Chelsea are said to have baulked at Juve's £70million (€100m) asking price.
But Spanish newspaper Sport claim the midfielder will be on the move at the end of this season - although he is unlikely to rock up at Chelsea.
It is claimed the ace is "crazy" about playing for Barca and is willing to have his wages slashed if it secures a move to the Nou Camp.
Paul Pogba - Spotlight On
The former Manchester United midfielder, who quit the club on a free transfer in 2012, is also said to be wanted by Manchester City.
City will have Pep Guardiola installed as their new manager this summer once his deal at Bayern Munich expires.
Guardiola is set to spend big during his first few months in charge of the club.
But he will have to look elsewhere than Pogba for midfield recruits.
