Beppe Marotta: 'Paul Pogba is not for sale'

Juventus director-general Beppe Marotta has said that French midfielder Paul Pogba is not for sale.

The 20-year-old has been linked with a move to a number of clubs in recent weeks, but Marotta has insisted that there is no chance he will be leaving the Serie A leaders.

"Juventus in its history has always bought many and sold few when talking about champions," he told Radio 1.

"From our point of view, we do not want to sell Pogba and so far we have closed the door to any possible buyer.

"Our aim is to consolidate the group, we do not want to sell him, but certain assessments must be made later."

Pogba joined Juventus from Manchester United in July 2012.
