Juventus GM Marotta: Pogba can be compared with Zidane

Juventus GM Beppe Marotta feels Paul Pogba can become an absolute world-beater.

Pogba is again being linked with a big money move away.

But Marotta insists: "Pogba used to be a promise, now he's something real.

"Something real and very important, as he's only 21-years-old and has already played matches in Serie A and for the national team.

"He already has a very respectable CV. He can doubtlessly be compared to [former Juventus midfielder Zinedine] Zidane in terms of value, but today it would be premature to say what his future holds.

"Juventus certainly have no intention of selling their champions, whilst we remain unscathed from an economic point view, since any offer can simply be rejected.

"The hardest thing will be for the player not to be tempted by the lure of greater salaries.

"But I can say with certainty that today these premises do not subsist, and I am convinced that the player will stay with us and keep wearing this shirt. Hopefully we can grow together and keep winning prestigious trophies."
