Juventus now favourites to sign Manchester United star

Juventus are reportedly leading the race to sign midfielder Paul Pogba from Manchester United when the season comes to a close.

The Frenchman has struggled with multiple ankle injuries this term and he is currently sidelined until mid-February following a surgery.

According to Tuttosport, the midfielder could head through the United exit door during next summer's transfer window and the Bianconeri are the front-runners to sign him.

United are said to have placed a £150m price tag on the Frenchman's head but they may consider reducing the price with the midfielder approaching the final year of his contract.

Pogba has also been linked with a possible move to Real Madrid but it appears that the 13-time European champions have shifted their interest towards signing Donny van de Beek from Ajax.

The Frenchman has not started a Premier League game for United since early September. He could yet play a key role for the club in the quest for the top four and silverware when he returns from his injury setback.
