Real Madrid, Barcelona, Chelsea, Manchester City, Paris Saint-Germain and Bayern Munich are all set to compete for Juventus midfielder Paul Pogba, according to the Express.

The Frenchman is considered to be one of the best young players in the world and is valued at around €100m (£72 million).

Pogba helped Juventus reach last season’s Champions League Final, which they lost to Barcelona and now his agent is hinting that he could be making a switch next summer, which has alerted Europe’s elite.

Pogba’s agent, Mino Raiola, has confirmed that Barcelona had a £61 million bid turned down, despite their transfer embargo.

He said “Last summer Pogba wanted to remain at Juventus, at least for one more year. The best La Liga clubs pounced on him, as well as some English Premier League sides, but both PSG and Bayern Munich cannot be ruled out in the race for him.

"We’ll see what will happen in the future. Every top club can sign him, we're keeping all options open. He is a very expensive player, as Juve expect to cash in €100m from his sale."

The 22 year-old left Manchester United in 2013 on a free transfer after not being able to break into the first team. There were strong rumours that the Red Devils could attempt to re-sign Pogba earlier in the summer.
