Juventus are conducting two high-profile operations with the same agents, Rafaela Pimenta and Enzo Raiola, who represent Paul Pogba and Matthijs De Ligt. The Bianconeri are growing increasingly confident in their attempt to bring back the French ace. PSG are tending to other matters and have not responded to their offer, Sky reports.
The midfielder is tempted to return and could renounce to some money to make it happen. The Old Lady raised their proposal, improving the base salary to €8.5M plus add-ons. It is still significantly lower than what he is making at Manchester United and how much PSG could give him. But the French outfit needs to solve the Kylian Mbappé situation first. Moreover, it is uncertain whether both Leonardo and Mauricio Pochettino will stay. That is stalling their deals too.
Juventus might get a positive response from Pogba as soon as this weekend, while the talks with De Ligt will need more time. The parties are on the same page on staying together this summer. The defender is open to extending his contract until 2025 or 2026. However, that would not necessarily guarantee he would stay long-term.
As a matter of fact, his entourage asked to lower his €120M release clause below the nine-digit threshold, Gianluca Di Marzio informs. They are negotiating such aspect, but there is momentum toward an agreement. The Bianconeri and the agency of the late Mino Raiola are also mulling over the future of Moise Kean and Luca Pellegrini. They could depart under the right circumstances.
