Juve-Pogba, the catchphrase starts again: what’s behind Raiola’s message | First page

Year after year, we find ourselves at the same point: Paul Pogba wants and can leave Manchester United, Paul Pogba wants and can return to Juventus. And now that the French midfielder finally finds himself in the last year of his contract, the catchphrase can begin again in September. Also because it was rekindled by His Majesty Mino Raiola himself. The super agent has in fact immediately rekindled the hopes or perhaps the illusion of all the Juventus people, in the interview given to Rai Sport in fact, he declared: “His contract expires next year. We will talk to Manchester United and see. Turin has certainly remained in his heart and he cares a lot about these things. There is a possibility that he will return to Juventus, but it also depends on Juve ”. All in all, nothing new. Except that to say what has been known for some time, this time it was Raiola. One who never talks so much to do. In short, if a message had to be launched, it easily doubled: United warned, but also Juve warned. Because if on the one hand there is the will and perhaps the desire to return to Turin, on the other there will be a need to satisfy Pogba’s requests in terms of design and economics. THE TRACK – On the other hand, contacts have never been interrupted, on more than one occasion Juve has tried to probe the margins for a possible purchase from United. Before the advent of the pandemic, the track really seemed to be able to take off, then the economic crisis wiped out any Bianconeri ambitions. That for him and perhaps only for him he would have made an exception, both last summer and this one, within the process of downsizing costs: an opening would have been needed that however from United never came concretely, not at prices accessible for Juve at least without there being any counterparts able to convince the Red Devils. But now everything is different, United has no more options to unilaterally extend a contract that is now close to expiration, first of all Raiola will try to listen to the arguments with which they will try to keep Pogba, then he will definitively start the auction for his client. There is the Psg who is ready to do the usual follies, for example. There is also the Real who will have to refresh the midfield and not just aim at Kylian Mbappé. And there is also or above all Juve, which will have to go far beyond the limits of engagement that it is imposing itself at this stage: a rich sum will not be enough to sign up for Raiola and the Frenchman’s family, even in terms of salary it will be necessary to break through abundantly double digits to beat the competition, even knowing that to return to Juve then Pogba could also lower the demands compared to other clubs. However, there is plenty of time to be able to calculate and prepare an interesting offer, also from the point of view of the technical project, Max Allegri in this sense can be a good guarantee. The catchphrase started again, Raiola spoke, the messages arrived at their destination.–
