Juventus 'concerned by cost of potential Paul Pogba deal'

Juventus reportedly have concerns over a possible deal for Paul Pogba in this summer's transfer window due to Manchester United's high valuation of the midfielder.

The 26-year-old, who is currently on the sidelines recovering from ankle surgery, has allegedly told United teammates that he is determined to leave Old Trafford this summer.

Juve have been strongly linked with a move for the France international, although the Italian champions are far from certain to secure a deal for their former midfielder, according to Tuttosport.

The report claims that the Old Lady could ultimately be priced out of a move for the France international, who is thought to be valued in excess of £100m by Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's side.

Meanwhile, it is alleged that Real Madrid are still in the hunt for the 2018 World Cup winner despite the Spanish club's president Florentino Perez also reportedly having concerns over the cost.

Pogba made his return from an ankle injury to feature against Watford and Newcastle United in the latter stages of December but has been unavailable since the start of January due to an ankle operation.

The midfielder could make his return later this month, although it appears likely that he will be leaving Old Trafford this summer with his contract due to expire in June 2021.
