Paul Pogba confirms rejecting Manchester City for Juventus

France and Juventus midfielder, Paul Pogba has revealed that he turned down an offer from Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola to join Juventus.

In an interview with Gazzetta, Pogba confirmed the report, stating, “Yes, I turned down Pep Guardiola’s approach to accept the Juventus proposal. That story is true.”

Pogba also expressed loyalty to Juventus, ruling out a potential move to Serie A rivals AC Milan, even if Zlatan Ibrahimovic, AC Milan’s senior advisor, were to reach out.

“I will never join AC Milan. Even if Ibrahimović calls me, he knows I won’t betray Juve,” Pogba told Sky Sport.

Pogba’s current focus is on returning to the Juventus squad after his 18-month ban, reduced from four years, ends in January.

Meanwhile, reports suggest Juventus and Pogba are in talks to potentially terminate his contract, linking him to other European clubs, including Marseille.

Pogba remains committed to Juventus, stating, “I do not see myself with any other jersey. My focus is on getting back into the Juve shirt.”
