Juve, Marotta: 'Pogba to Man Utd the best deal of my career'
- Kaustubh Pandey
It was last summer that Paul Pogba signed on the dotted line for the Old Trafford based giants for a then world record fee of 105 million euros. Apart from allowing Pogba to join his former club, Juventus had splashed the cash to bring in Gonzalo Higuain from Napoli too.
Marotta was talking to Il Giornale recently about the deals that the Old Lady have managed to pull of recently.
Talking of Gonzalo Higuain’s signing last summer, Marotta said: You can not do such a deal every year. Higuain had created an opportunity to leave Naples at an opportune moment in which we decided to make that investment. But you can not think of doing it every year. That transfer was closed before Paul's move to United was finalized, which was predictable and of course facilitated the Pipita deal.
When asked about the best deals he has ever done, the Italian said: Casiraghi signing for Juventus was the sign of progress. Signing Cassano from Real was special: it was pure emotion because it was about recovering a talent. The Pogba deal to Manchester United: the biggest personal achievement. "
