Italian giants Juventus are looking to entice Manchester United contract-rebel Paul Pogba with a lucrative €19,000-a-week offer.
The French starlet arrived at Old Trafford in 2009 and has since then impressed on lookers with his lethal long-range ability and array of passing skills.
Such has been his impact that in order to convince him that his future lies with the English Premier League champions, Sir http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Alex-c4752 Ferguson has allowed him cameo roles in the last couple of games.
After sending him on against West Brom, Athletic Bilbao and http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Wolves-c40952, the Scot hopes that the midfielder will sign a fresh deal with the club.
However Juventus have stepped up their interest and are reportedly looking to persuade him with their financially luring proposal.
The Bianconeri’s General Director Giuseppe Marotta has agreed to sign off on a initial €500,000-a-year contract, that could potentially rise up to €1 million (£835,000) per annum, or €19,000-a-week (£16,000) if he manages to crack the first team.
United, though, are keen to hang on to the talented 19-year-old, who is seen as http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Paul-c29347 Scholes’ successor in the centre of the park. Fergie was earlier forced to sell Ravel Morrison after his off-field antics threatened to curtail the image of the club and
the player’s career.
Having lost a rare gem in the process, the veteran tactician will use vast experience in order to make sure that Pogba stays in Manchester.
Speaking after the West Brom a couple of days ago, Ferguson revealed that the French International was still mulling over his choices, although he was given the rank of a first team player at the helm.
“The boy is still trying to make his mind up, but he knows where he should be and he has shown the potential he has got. He is a first-team player; there is no question about that.”
He also quoted the late Sir Matt Busby on the matter and claimed that while playing for the Red Devils, money would never be an issue if one’s game was up to standard.
“Matt Busby summed it up perfectly, that you don't need to chase money at a club like Manchester United, it will eventually find you. If you're good enough, you will earn money and become rich playing for us, there's no doubt about it,” Sir Alex was quoted
as saying.
Paul Pogba might perhaps be the answer to United’s midfield conundrum and they will surely do everything in their power to make sure that he agrees to stay in http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/England-c749 rather than join Juventus for a bumper deal.
