Maurizio Sarri's 14-word on Paul Pogba transfer

Maurizio Sarri has vowed to "succeed" with Paul Pogba at Juventus, should the Italian champions re-sign the midfielder from Manchester United after the France international openly admitted he would like to leave Old Trafford this transfer window. 

Sarri was confirmed as Juventus' new coach on Sunday following his sudden exit from Chelsea after just one season in south-west London.

Report has it that the Italian has already been in touch with Fabio Paratici, Juventus sporting director via his agent, and has chatted with him about the many transfer targets on the club's wishlist.

One name that has caught Sarri's attention on that list is Pogba's.

According to Calciomercato, when Sarri learned of Juventus’ interest in the midfielder, he said: "I succeeded with [Eden] Hazard, I can also do it with a phenomenon like Pogba."

Pogba is keen on a move away from Old Traffold this summer and publicly confirmed this to reporters in Japan on Sunday.

"Like you said, there is a lot of talking and a lot of thinking as well," said Pogba.

"After this season and everything that happened this season, with my season being my best season as well... I think for me it could be a good time to have a new challenge somewhere else. I am thinking of this: to have a new challenge somewhere else."

Juventus and Real Madrid are the front-runners for Frenchman's signature, but Manchester United are holding out for £150million. Yes, £150million for Paul Pogba!
