Manchester United do not have a buy-back option on Paul Pogba, according to Sky sources.
The France midfielder left Old Trafford for Juventus in 2012 after failing to secure a regular first team place in Sir Alex Ferguson’s side.
Pogba has blossomed into one of the most sought after talents in Europe during his time with Juve where he has won four Serie A titles in as many years.
Several British newspapers claim United are in pole position to re-sign Pogba – but it is understood they did not include either a sell-on clause or an option to buy-back the 23-year-old, meaning they would need to pay a fee widely reported to be around £80m.
Sky in Italy are reporting there is also interest from Real Madrid and that there has been contact between Real and Pogba’s representatives – although not between Real and Juve.
