Juventus confirm Real Madrid are interested in Paul Pogba

Juventus director general Giuseppe Marotta has revealed that Real Madrid have contacted the club regarding a possible move for Paul Pogba.

The 21-year-old has gone from strength to strength since making the move to Italy from Manchester United in 2012.

The midfielder's form is believed to have attracted numerous big-name clubs, including his former Premier League outfit at Old Trafford.

Madrid are rumoured to also be keen on Pogba, and now Marotta has claimed that manager Carlo Ancelotti has already been in touch.

"Ancelotti asked me some questions about Pogba," Marotta told Sky Sport Italia. "He says he's not interested? Well, that's a white lie. I'm sure he has his reasons to say it's not true."

Juve are reportedly keen to offer the Frenchman a new deal in order to fend off interest from elsewhere.
