Juventus star Paul Pogba is worth more than 100 million euros say his club
French international was linked with a move to Chelsea during transfer window
Midfielder Paul Pogba could be worth more than 100 million euros (HK$868.9 million) in the future, Juventus chief executive Giuseppe Marotta predicted on Wednesday.
We have decided to keep hold of a player as important as Pogba, although we have had offers from some very important clubs
“As we want to win, we have decided to keep hold of a player as important as Pogba, although we have had offers from some very important clubs,” Marotta told a news conference.
“In the future he could be worth more than 100 million euros.”
The 22-year-old Frenchman, who combines explosive pace and strength with outstanding technique, joined Juventus from Manchester United in 2012 and has helped his side take a stranglehold on Italian football.
Juventus, Serie A champions for the last four seasons, have lost their first two league games this term and Marotta admitted it had been difficult to replace Andrea Pirlo, Arturo Vidal and Carlos Tevez, who all left in the summer.
“We’ve lost the likes of Pirlo, Tevez and Vidal, three irreplaceable players, against our will and replacing them isn’t easy,” he said.
