The future of Paul Pogba looks increasingly uncertain as the Daily Express claims that Manchester United, Chelsea and Manchester City are "awaiting the outcome of high-level contract talks" between the French playmaker and Juventus.

Apparently the Serie A champions are trying their level best to persuade Pogba to pledge his loyalty to them once his current deals runs its course in 2016 and Italian sources say the Old Lady of Turin is "willing to offer Pogba £60,000-a-week plus bonuses" if only he would sign along the dotted line. Such a sum would triple his current salary but it's by no means certain that the young midfielder will put pen to paper. The Express says that the three English clubs all hold out hope that Pogba could be lured back to the Premier League with an even bigger hike in wages.
