The French international midfielder has been heavily linked with a move away from Juventus at the end of the season.

And while the player's agent, Mino Raiola, claims he could sell Pogba 'in a heartbeat' he insists that the player may choose to remain in Italy.

"We made a pact with Juve: Paul doesn't have to leave," he told Tuttosport.

"I spoke to president Andrea Agnelli, directors Pavel Nedved, Beppe Marotta and Fabio Paratici, so they all agree. The club doesn't need the money.

"He is wanted by seven clubs and that is certain, because they all told me so. The ones that can afford him are Real Madrid, Barcelona, PSG, Bayern Munich, Manchester United, Manchester City and Chelsea.

Paul Pogba is wanted by seven clubs

If I just whistled, I'd sell Pogba tomorrow to PSG or City in a heartbeat.

"If I just whistled, I'd sell Pogba tomorrow to PSG or City in a heartbeat. But Paul did not tell me to find him another club. As of today, it's 99 per cent [Pogba will stay at Juventus].

"Juve agree with our approach, which is that they will only sell if Paul asks to leave and there's a suitable offer. Of course, it could become one per cent, it depends on the market."

Raiola added: "Real wanted him 18 months ago, but I didn't like Madrid's attitude. Juve asked for about €50m and Real told me it was a ridiculous sum. Even Carlo Ancelotti told me that and he adores Pogba. 

"I don't have to sell him, though. I advised Paul to only leave Juve if he finds a club that desperately wants him. Right now it's easier to remain in Turin than to leave. Juve are the side with the advantage."
