Juventus director Fabio Paratici suggests that the Old Lady will not be signing Paul Pogba this summer due to the Manchester United midfielder's salary demands.

Juventus director Fabio Paratici has suggested that the Italian champions will not be signing Manchester United midfielder Paul Pogba this summer due to the Frenchman's wage demands.

Pogba continues to be linked with a move away from Old Trafford, with Inter Milan, Paris Saint-Germain and Real Madrid believed to be interested in signing the 2018 World Cup winner this summer.

Paratici, though, has claimed that the 27-year-old will struggle to find a club prepared to meet his salary demands due to the impact the coronavirus outbreak has had thus far and will continue to have in the coming months.

"Pogba is a great player, but logically the salary demands someone of his level would've had before is now more difficult to get hold of, or at least he'll have fewer clubs prepared to pay that money." Paratici told Sky Sport Italia.

Inter have allegedly emerged as the front runners for the France international as they are prepared to pay cash for the midfielder rather than offering a swap deal.

Pogba, who could reportedly be available for £60m this summer, has not turned out for United in 2020 due to an ankle injury which ultimately required surgery.
