Juventus leading race for Paul Pogba

Juventus are reportedly at the head of the queue to sign Manchester United midfielder Paul Pogba, as the Frenchman prepares to leave Old Trafford on a free transfer at the end of June.

The 29-year-old has contributed one goal and nine assists in 27 appearances for the Red Devils this season.

The France international is unlikely to sign a new deal at Manchester United, meaning that the attacker is set to be available on a free transfer this summer.

There has been a bunch of speculation surrounding his future in recent months, with the likes of Real Madrid, Manchester City, Paris Saint-Germain, Barcelona and Bayern Munich all said to be interested in his services.

However, according to Goal, Juve are in a strong position to sign Pogba on a free transfer for the second time.

The World cup winner initially left the Mancunian giants on a free transfer in 2012 to join the Bianconeri, where he won four Serie A titles and two Coppa Italia crowns.

Pogba made just seven appearances for United in his first spell at the club, but he has made 226 appearances for the 20-time English champions since his return.
