Agent confirms Pogba WILL leave Juventus

The agent of Paul Pogba says he will leave Juventus in the next 12-18 months. Mino Raiola also admits a move to PSG seems "natural".

"I'll say what my dad always taught me: don't sell and then regret'," Raiola told Gazzetta dello Sport. "If they [Juventus] don't sell Pogba, they won't have the money to build a team to win the Champions League.

"If they want to keep him, then they have to build a team which is so strong that Paul can continue to grow, but if they don't sell him they won't have the money to do it.

"The departure of Pogba should be considered regardless of what they then do with the money. When Juve sold Zidane it opened up a new cycle for them.

"How long will Pogba stay in Italy? Everyone has their cards close to their chest, let's see who gambles.

"PSG is the most natural: if we want to go, who can tell us no?

"But I don't know whether that's a card to play right now.

"Could he stay? Renewing [with Juventus] was easy, I wouldn't have renewed if it would create a problem for Juve or weaken Paul. I want those who believe in him to pay a premium.

"If Paul leaves Juve, he wants to do it to go to the top. So if it's not this year it'll be the year after."
