Juventus general manager Giuseppe Marotta has allayed the fears of coach Antonio Conte by insisting Paul Pogba has an "immense value" and could remain in Turin for "many years to come.”
In an exclusive interview with Sport360° earlier this year, Conte admitted that he was fearful of losing the French International, who has two years left on his current contract.
“I would not like any of my players to leave, but it’s not a decision that is in my hands. It is a commercial decision and I will leave it to the club management,” Conte told Sport360°.
“I must add that I am fully aware of the situation the club faces. It is the reality and I have to accept it.
“I will not feel frustrated if we do lose players because of money, because I am prepared for it.”
However, despite the Juventus coach’s concerns, Marotta believes that Pogba could stay at the Serie A champions for years to come.
"Paul is a players who has an immense value," Marotta said to Sky Italia.
"We are very proud to have him with us. We haven't spoken to anyone about him.
"Pogba has established himself here (at Juve) and this is his natural habitat.
"He can stay here for many years to come.”
Pogba has apparently been drawing interest from French giants Paris Saint-Germain, with reports claiming they would be willing to part with €70million to secure his services.
The 20-year-old midfielder, who joined Juve from Manchester United on a free transfer in 2012, has already scored six goals this season as the club look to retain their Serie A crown.
