Paul Pogba has been hit by injury, and Juventus are searching for a replacement with former Chelsea flop Saul Niguez coming up as an option.
Juventus had just signed Paul Pogba on a 4 year deal from Manchester United at the end of last season. He was supposed to be one of Juve’s star signings of the summer, but has been hit by a huge setback less than a month after confirming his return.
Juve confirmed earlier this week that he had torn his meniscus ruling him out of their pre-season trip to Dallas.
News coming in now suggests juve boss, Massimiliano Allegri now needs to find a replacement for the 29-year-old as he faces a long period of time out. The player who has reportedly risen to the top of their list of targets is Saul, who spent last season on loan at Chelsea from Atletico Madrid.
He endured a difficult campaign at Stamford Bridge though and returned to the Spanish capital without the Blues picking up the option to sign him permanently. But Atletico are still keen to move on the midfielder as they seek to cut down their wage biLl
Juve are said to be considering returning to the transfer market for a replacement in midfield. A loan move is thought to be the most likely option, rather than a permanent deal, with four years remaining on his contract at Atletico.
Saul had returned to Atletico at the start of pre-season following his ill-fated loan spell in the Premier League. He made just 10 appearances in the top-flight, but insisted that his time at Chelsea had done him good.
