#2 Juventus seek help from Adidas to sign Paul Pogba

Juventus have asked Adidas to help them bring Pogba back to Italy

Pogba's impending departure from Old Trafford has shown no signs of materializing so far, and the main reason has been United's asking price for the Frenchman.

Juventus, who are already cash strapped, are in no position to match the £135m that the Red Devils are demanding for their star man and as such, the Serie A champions have turned to their sponsors.

Juventus have reportedly asked Adidas to help them bring Pogba back to Turin. Adidas has an eight-year contract with the Serie A Champions worth £365m and they are also Pogba's sponsor.

Juventus are already lining up a mega deal to bring Ajax Skipper Matthijs de Ligt to Turin and as such, want Adidas to finance the deal to bring Paul Pogba back to Italy.

New Boss Maurizio Sarri is believed to be interested in the Frenchman, while Pogba himself prefers a move back to the club where he developed into a world-class player.
