Manchester City have held talks with highly-rated Juventus midfielder Paul Pogba, understands Sky Sports Italia.
City’s representatives travelled to Turin to speak to the France international over a potential transfer to the Etihad Stadium.
However,
dethroned Premier League champions City face stiff competition as the
22-year-old has also been linked with Paris St Germain, Barcelona, Real
Madrid and former club Manchester United.
The Italian champions are keen to keep Pogba, who is under contract
until June 2019, and have slapped a price-tag of a minimum of 100m euros
on their prized possession.
City are believed to be the first
club to visit northern Italy in their bid to sign Pogba and any deal is
likely to involve other players as makeweights.
PSG are reportedly
willing to meet Juve’s valuation of the player but the figure is
understood to have seen Real Madrid cool their interest.
Barca are
currently restrained by a transfer ban imposed by FIFA for 2015, while
Juventus team-mate Andrea Pirlo has dismissed the chances of Pogba
returning to Old Trafford.
