Paul Pogba is more likely to join Juventus rather than Real Madrid if he decides to leave Manchester United at the end of this season. That is the view of Bacary Sagna, the former Arsenal and Manchester City defender who was a team-mate of Pogba with the French national team between 2013 and 2016.
Speculation about the Manchester United midfielder has been rife for months, with his agent Mino Raiola admitting last year that he wanted to quit Old Trafford.
“Everyone within the club [United] from the manager to the owner knows Paul’s wishes,” Raiola said. “Everyone knows the willingness of Paul to move on. Everyone knows what the feelings of Paul are.”
Pogba remained at Old Trafford in January, however, but has made just eight appearances this season and has not featured since Boxing Day due to an ankle injury.
It is widely expected he will again push for an exit at the end of the current campaign and Real Madrid remain favourites for his signature, mainly because of his relationship with coach Zinedine Zidane.
But speaking exclusively to Goal , Sagna says that if his countryman does leave the Premier League, his destination could be Italy, rather than Spain.
“I see more Paul returning to Juventus because Cristiano [Ronaldo] is there and because Juventus is the club that made him shine," said Sagna.
“He loves the club, he already knows it.”
