a Real Madrid did not make an attempt to sign him but it is probable that Real will do this in the future because Benitez knows Arturo very well.”
However, the one player who has attracted the most interest in the Juventus squad is Paul Pogba, who is likely to become the subject of a transfer tug of war this summer with Manchester United, Barcelona and Real Madrid, amongst other clubs, interested in his services. Though Juventus are expected to cash in on the French midfielder this summer, Marotta believes that the club do not have to sell him as the player is happy at the club.
