Paul Pogba has spent the past month in Miami to recover from his latest injury, a thigh strain, and work on his conditioning. He’ll be the first to return to Turin and start practicing Monday, a week before the start of Juventus’ pre-season preparation, SportMediaset reports.
The star midfielder is drawing interest from Saudi Arabia despite a very rough campaign. While he indicated that he wasn’t keen on such a move, the club will ponder possible offers depending on how his summer goes.
Pogba signaled that he could be willing to reduce his wages and is poised to talk with the new management. The coaching and technical staff will closely monitor his rehab and form. The next few weeks will be pivotal to determining his future.
According to Calciomercato, Massimiliano Allegri is weighing using him more as a n.10 than as a box-to-box, freeing up from defensive tasks.
Our Take on Pogba
Some within the Bianconeri front office probably wouldn’t mind wiping his €7M wages off the books. Getting some money from his sale would be an unexpected and welcomed boon. It’s unlikely to happen unless he changes his mind, though. The same goes for his salary reduction, as footballers basically never do that.
