Juventus 'view Paul Pogba as leading summer target'

Juventus are reportedly determined to re-sign Paul Pogba this summer, with the France international set to be available on a free transfer.

The midfielder's contract at Manchester United is due to expire at the end of June, and it appears increasingly unlikely that he will be penning an extension with the 20-time English champions.

Real Madrid and Paris Saint-Germain continue to be strongly linked with the World Cup winner, but according to Calciomercato, Juventus are desperate to bring him back to Turin.

The 28-year-old previously represented the Old Lady between 2012 and 2016, winning four Serie A titles and two Coppa Italia crowns before securing a return to Man United.

Pogba has been in strong form for the Red Devils since returning from a thigh problem and scored his first goal of the season against Burnley in the Premier League at the start of February.

The midfielder has scored once and provided eight assists in 20 appearances for Ralf Rangnick's side during the 2021-22 campaign.

Newcastle United and Manchester City have also been linked with the Frenchman amid suggestions that he would be interested in joining another Premier League club.
