PSG confirm Pogba interest


The Champions League hopefuls are closely monitoring the powerful Juventus midfielder and could make a move during the summer
Paris Saint-Germain president Nasser Al-Khelaifi has revealed that the French champions are keen to sign Juventus midfielder Paul Pogba at the end of the season.

The 20-year-old has long been linked with a move to the Ligue 1 leaders and Al-Khelaifi has confirmed that PSG are eager to lure Pogba back to his native country, although they are willing to wait until the summer.

"Paul is a Parisian. He is a great player and he represents the future of France," Al-Khelaifi told Le Parisien.

"We will not try to sign him this winter, but maybe we will give it a try next summer."

The PSG chief then went on to stress that they have no transfer plans this winter unless they pick up any injuries in January.

"At the moment, we are not thinking about one player in particular. We are keeping an eye on the transfer market because you never know what will happen in the next few weeks. Someone could get injured," he continued.

"I don't think we will sign someone this winter, though. We have a good team as it is."

Pogba's current deal with Juventus runs until June 2016.
