France and Juventus’s midfield, Paul Pogba, has revealed that he had turned down Pep Guardiola’s Manchester City to favour Juventus in the last transfer market.
According to a post obtained from Fabrizio Romano’s X handle, the midfield maestro said, “Yes, I turned down Pep Guardiola’s approach to accept the Juventus proposal.
“That story is true”, told Gazzetta.
He also stated that he would never join Serie A rivals AC Milan, adding that even if AC Milan senior advisor Zlatan Ibrahimovic calls him, he won’t betray Juventus.
Pogba is free to play football again starting from January next year after his four-year ban was reduced to 18 months by the Court of Arbitration for Sports.
There are suggestions of ongoing negotiations between both Juventus and Pogba to terminate the player’s contract.
As a result, the France World Cup winner has been linked with some European clubs, including Marseille.
“Will I join AC Milan? Impossible. Even if Ibrahimović calls me, he knows I won’t betray Juve,” Pogba told Sky Sport.
“I do not see myself with any other jersey. My focus is on getting back into the Juve shirt.”
