Paul Pogba’s agent Mina Raiola is ’99 percent’ sure that the midfielder will stay at Juventus beyond the summer.

Since arriving in Turin in 2012 the Frenchman has transformed into one of the most sought after players in the world, with PSG, Real Madrid and Manchester City all monitoring his progress.

Pogba is contracted with the Bianconeri until 2019, however his agent Raiola believes that his client is likely to see out his current deal.

“We made a pact with Juventus and Paul doesn’t have to leave,” Raiola told Tuttosport.

“I spoke to president Andrea Agnelli, directors Pavel Nedved, Beppe Marotta and Fabio Paratici, they all agreed. The club doesn’t need the money.

“At the moment the situation at Juventus is ideal for Pogba. We would only leave if a situation emerged that was favorable for all concerned.

“He is wanted by seven clubs and that is certain, because they all told me so. The ones that can afford him are Real Madrid, Barcelona, PSG, Bayern Munich, Manchester United, Manchester City and Chelsea.

“If I just whistled, I’d sell Pogba tomorrow to PSG or City in just a heartbeat. But Paul did not tell me to find him another club. As of today, it’s 99 per cent [Pogba to stay at Juventus].

“Juventus have agreed with our approach, which is that they will only sell if Paul asks to leave and there’s a suitable offer. Of course, it depends on the market.

“Real Madrid wanted him 18 months ago, but I didn’t like their attitude. Juventus asked for about €50 million and Real Madrid told me it was a ridiculous sum. Even Carlos Ancelotti told me that and he adores Pogba.”
