Why Pogba to United is good news for Juventus
On paper, such a transfer is not good - the Bianconeri also being involved in the race for the disgruntled Manchester United star.
Yet a recent report from Don Balon indicates that, if the Frenchman arrives in Catalonia, someone could leave. That special someone? Long term Old Lady target Ivan Rakitic.
According to the Spanish outlet, Ivan Rakitic is worried about so many arrivals, with players like Oscar, Coutinho and Arturo Vidal flooding the midfield. The 30-year-old sees it as a direct threat to his tenure.
Last week, the website told us that Messi was “making many phonecalls” in order to pursue the 25-year-old.
Pogba was recently involved in an interview in which he said that "If you're not happy, you cannot give your best.
"There are things that I cannot say otherwise I will get fined."
Juventus, for their part, haven’t made their love of Rakitic a secret.
