Manchester United and Chelsea have been given hope in their bids to sign Paul Pogba.

The Juventus player has become arguably the most sought after player among Europe's elite sides and has been consistently linked with a transfer.

"Pogba is the protagonist of his own destiny and if he decides to leave then we can't stop him,” he told Corriere della Sera.

"Pogba has not indicated a willingness to leave, though. The problem will come when the player is offered a contract that is two or three times what he already earns. We're talking in the tens of millions per year."

Pogba, whose current contract runs until 2019, has also been linked with Barcelona.
