Juventus midfielder Paul Pogba’s agent Mino Raiola has claimed that his client could soon be leaving Turin if the right offer comes.

The France International signed a new contract in October which kept him tied with The Old Lady until the summer of 2019, but his representative has fuelled speculation about Pobga’s future. The ‘Super-Agent’ stressed that the 21-year-old has quickly developed, even beyond his reckoning, and could soon be ways with the reigning  Serie A champions if a right opportunity knocks the door.

Talking to Sport Mediaset, Raiola said,”He will not stay in Italy much longer,”

“It all depends on Juventus to be honest. We have just signed a new deal and we are happy, but if the right moment comes along to leave we will not let it pass.

“We will have to wait and see what happens. I don’t know when the right moment comes along.

“I knew how talented he was, but it’s never easy to make such an impact when you bring a young guy to Italy. He has developed incredibly fast. Not even I had expected that.”

Pogba opened the scoring in Juventus’ 1-3 win against Napoli with a breath-taking volley, which strengthened Massimiliano Allegri’s sides’ lead at the top.

After controversially departing his boy club Le Havre for Manchester United, Pogba was an important figure in The Red Devils’ FA Youth Cup winning squad in 2011. However, the Frenchman left Manchester United due to lack of first team action.

Since joining Juventus in the summer of 2012, Pogba became a vital cog in Antonio Conte’s set-up, and has improved further under Massimiliano Allegri.

His performances were recognized by the world, and he was named the Tuttosport ‘Golden Boy’ award in 2013. A key protagonist for Juventus for the past two-and-a-half seasons and running, Pogba has scored five goals in all competitions this season for his side.

Chelsea and PSG have been closely linked to the Frenchman, while he is also rumoured to be be a target for former club Manchester United.
