Chelsea Target Paul Pogba as Conte Exit Casts Doubt on Juventus Future
Paul Pogba’s future at Juventus has been thrown into question following the departure of head coach Antonio Conte, with Chelsea reportedly ready to make a high-profile move for the French midfielder.
According to the Daily Express, the Premier League side is prepared to offer €75 million to secure the services of the 2014 FIFA World Cup’s Best Young Player. The 21-year-old was a standout performer in Brazil, further cementing his status as one of Europe’s most coveted talents.
Conte’s sudden exit from the Turin club has opened the door to potential changes in the squad, and Chelsea are believed to be monitoring the situation closely.
Meanwhile, Italian media suggest that Juventus are eager to keep hold of Pogba and are considering extending his contract until 2018 in an attempt to ward off interest.
