he host of clubs hoping to coax former Manchester United youngster Paul Pogba back to the Premier League look set to miss out on their man.
Arsenal, Manchester City and Chelsea have all been linked with the midfielder, but he is reportedly on the verge of signing a contract extension at Juventus.
The France international has been in excellent form for the Serie A giants since joining from United in 2012, prompting rumours of a big-money transfer.
But Juve’s veteran keeper Gianluigi Buffon has gone public to say that he expects the 20-year-old to sign a new deal in the coming days.
Buffon was speaking after Arturo Vidal put pen to paper on a new contract of his own.
The Italy international said: “Pogba? You will see soon he will also renew his contract.
“If a player who has [had] as many offers as Arturo decides to tie himself to Juventus for such a long time, it’s a very clear signal and it means there is an important and solid project here.
“There is a conviction among the most important players in the squad that in the future we can achieve the same great results as in recent years.”
