Juventus: Even with a £77m bid, Pogba is not for sale

 Midfielder Paul Pogba will not be sold despite interest from a host of European clubs, according to Juventus general director Giuseppe Marotta.

Manchester United are reported to be preparing a £77m bid to bring the 21-year-old Frenchman back to the club.

"Every European club is watching him and been in contact," Marotta said.

"However, we want to have a strong team made up of champions. We have an important player in Pogba and we don't have a need to sell him."

The France international played a key role in helping Juve clinch their third successive Serie A title last season, scoring seven goals and setting up seven more in 36 appearances.

"What was a promising player has become a reality," Marotta added on Sky Italia.
