Juventus director doubts clubs can afford Pogba’s wages

Juventus director, Fabio Paratici, has said Paul Pogba will struggle to find a club willing to match his wages at Manchester United, due to the financial impact caused by the coronavirus outbreak.

Pogba has been linked with a move away from Old Trafford, with Juve and Real Madrid believed to be keen.

The France midfielder left United for Juve in 2012, before returning to Manchester in a then world-record £89.3 million transfer.

While the Serie A champions are keen to have him back, Paratici warned the impact of the coronavirus, means few clubs will be able to sign a player on such a high salary.

“He [Pogba] is a great player but he will struggle to find someone who can pay his wages,” Paratici told Sky Sport Italia.
