Juventus line up £35m Pogba replacement from Premier League
Juventus will match Newcastle’s £35m valuation for Moussa Sissoko once they have sold Paul Pogba to Manchester United, according to The Guardian.
United are close to completing a world record deal to re-sign Pogba and Juventus have already begun to draw up a list of replacements with Sissoko currently topping the list.
The 26-year-old has been vocal in his desire to leave Newcastle this summer and his stock has risen significantly following his strong showings in France’s final two matches of Euro 2016.
Everton are also prepared to meet Newcastle’s demands to sign the Frenchman but Sissoko is likely to choose Champions League football with the Serie A champions.
In the last four Premier League campaigns only Eden Hazard463) and Raheem Sterling (282) have completed more dribbles than Sissoko (271).

Telling that his best performance of the season was against Tottenham after they had already been relegated and he wanted to move on. Only ever puts in a performance when he is on TV otherwise he is anonymous. Those are the sentiments of most Newcastle fans I've talked to. Seems like a good deal for everyone involved, Newcastle get huge money for a player who consistently underperforms; Sissoko finally gets to play top level football and Juventus could get a highly talented player who will undoubtedly be more motivated to play on a big stage.
