According to new reports coming from El Desmarque, Juventus are open to bringing Paul Pogba back to Italy as the midfielder's form and status at the club have plummeted.

With the return of the Frenchman, Maurizio Sarri could set his sights on that European cup.

What's the word, then?

Pogba being at the centre of another transfer rumour is nothing particularly new and neither is the notion of his potential return to the Old Lady.

The coveted Frenchman was part of the Bianconeri family from 2012 until 2016 when he decided to re-join the Red Devils, a team whose colours he defended prior to his spell with Juventus.

Now he could be going full circle and returning to Turin once more, as the new reports are suggesting.

El Desmarque also mention how both his status and form have somewhat dipped in recent times which could ultimately affect the asking price.

But even with that being said, only an offer of around €150m (£128.4m) is expected to be enough to convince Manchester United that it's time to let the Frenchman go.

Next level

Juventus already look formidable under Maurizio Sarri and their midfield also has a lot of potential and firepower with the likes of Miralem Pjanic, Sami Khedira, Aaron Ramsey and co. pulling the strings.

But adding Pogba to the mix could benefit all parties immensely and take Juventus to another level.

Despite currently not being in the best place, seeing how he only has six games under his belt across all competitions this season for Manchester United, the 26-year-old Frenchman is still in his best years and has a lot to offer.

Let's not forget we're talking about a player who bagged 13 goals and nine assists in 2018/19 Premier League campaign and averaged three shots, 1.6 key passes and 1.7 dribbles per game. He's also a World Cup winner and already knows how to dominate Serie A, winning four consecutive titles there.

The Bianconeri are yet to lift the Champions League trophy despite being in several finals already while Pogba is now seemingly in need of a second chance away from Old Trafford, having said back in the summer that he'd like a new challenge.

United, on the other hand, would be getting a lot of money for a player who has insinuated he no longer wants to be there, who has struggled to consistently justify his previous world-record price-tag and who has been affected by injuries of late.

All three sides could leave this transaction happy and for that reason, its completion no longer sounds like a stretch. Juventus only have to be brave enough to pull the trigger.

Besides, Cristiano Ronaldo has personally given his OK, as per El Desmarque's claims.

That should already be enough, shouldn't it?
