Paul Pogba’s future at Manchester United remains in doubt following suggestions he wants to leave the club after a turbulent season under Jose Mourinho last year.
Italian journalist Tancredi Palmeri recently tweeted: "It’s all true: Pogba wants to join back Juventus. But at the moment Manchester United are not willing at all to open a negotiation about him, and hardly Juventus will get a discount on price as with Cristiano Ronaldo, considering Pogba is at his career peak.
"A swap with Dybala is logically the only possible ground to make Pogba to Juventus happen, but at the moment nothing is in motion yet, and all in all Juventus would then definitely need to sell also Pjanic and probably Alex Sandro too."
And Italian newspaper TuttoSport echo those suggestions of Juve and Pogba being keen on a reunion.
However, they say any deal will be dependent on the future of midfielder Pjanic.
Juve will need to sell Pjanic in order to raise funds for Pogba’s return and Chelsea are the club keen to offer him a way out.
However, the Serie A champions are refusing to budge on their £72m valuation - a figure the Blues have not yet been willing to meet.
New Blues boss Maurizio Sarri reportedly included Pjanic in his list of transfer targets which was given to Roman Abramovich after his appointment and is hoping the Russian billionaire continues to back him following the arrival of Jorginho from Napoli.
Should Chelsea fork out the required fee, Juve would have enough money in the bank to prise Pogba away from United.
Despite indications Pogba’s time at Old Trafford could be coming to an end it remains to be seen if the Red Devils are open to selling.
The Frenchman, who helped lead his country to a first World Cup since 1998 this summer, remains under contract with United until 2021.
