Paul Pogba's agent will 'fly to Turin' to seal move from Man United to Juventus and more rumours

The agent of Manchester United midfielder Paul Pogba will be in Turin on Monday for discussions with the Frenchman's former club Juventus, according to reports.

Pogba made the return to Old Trafford for £89million in 2016 but has struggled to justify the hefty price tag. He swapped Manchester for Juventus in 2012 and went on to spend four years with the Serie A giants.

The 29-year-old is out of contract in the summer and his final action for United looks to have been in the 4-0 defeat to Liverpool at Anfield, where Pogba trudged off with an injury after just 10 minutes. In recent weeks, the World Cup winner has been linked with a move to United's rivals Manchester City.

However, Fabrizio Romano has reported that Pogba's agent will be in Italy on Monday to discuss a possible return to the Old Lady. The France international's wage demands are understood to be the only remaining stumbling block in the deal. Paris Saint-Germain are also in contention to sign Pogba, though a move to City is said to be off the cards.

Meanwhile, reports in Italy suggest that United are exploring a move for Napoli defender Kalidou Koulibaly. United have already lodged their interest in Villarreal defender Pau Torres this summer as they look to strengthen their defensive options.

According to Area Napoli, there have been discussions with the Senegalese defender's representatives. Reports suggest the Napoli centre-back could be prised away for around €35m (£29.7m).
