Juventus are interested in re-signing Manchester United midfielder Paul Pogba, according to the Guardian's Fabrizio Romano.

The Old Lady would have to sell off "two or three important players" to make a deal work, Romano adds.

Reluctant as they may be to sell Pogba, the Red Devils would reportedly accept around €130 million for the 26-year-old.

That's a lot of money even for Juventus, who sold Pogba to United for €105 million in 2016. They'd likely have to auction off Miralem Pjanic, Douglas Costa, or Paulo Dybala to fund a move for the World Cup winner.

Pogba learned his trade during a successful four years at Juventus between 2012 and 2016. Playing alongside Andrea Pirlo on the left side of a midfield three, Pogba scored goals from distance while increasing his passing range.

However, United manager Ole Gunner Solskjaer believes Pogba will remain at the club.

"You can't guarantee anything in football, but yes, I think Paul's going to be here," Solskjaer said. "He's very determined to succeed at Manchester United."

Real Madrid also reportedly expressed interest in signing Pogba this summer, and the feeling may be mutual. Pogba called Madrid a "dream club for every player" in March, stoking rumors of a move to the Bernabeu.
