As well known, many clubs are interested in Juventus 20 year old midfielder Paul Pogba: interviewed by Telefoot, his compatriot Raphael Varane has declared that he would like the former Manchester United player to join him at Real Madrid: and, as highlighted by calciomercato.com, both the young Frenchmen are tracked by Paris Saint-Germain; perhaps, Pogba’s agent Mino Raiola has been seen in the French capital, officially to talk about Matuidi and Maxwell, but probably to evaluate the Ligue 1 defending champions’ offer for his client. The bianconeri would accept a swap involving 21 year old Marco Verratti, but the Italy international has once again expressed his will to stay. Meanwhile, as reported by TMW, the Piedmont’s club is ready to extend the contract of 30 year old Swiss right back Stephan Lichtsteiner, actually expiring in June 2015. But the Serie A defending champions are also observing some young talents, like –as revealed by calciomercato.com- Parma 17 year old midfielder Jose Augustin Mauri, who could be part of a swap involving 27 year old forward Sebastian Giovinco. The Serie A current runners-up AS Roma would like to renew the contracts of their cornerstones Mehdi Benatia, Kevin Strootman and Miralem Pjanic; but the Bosnian-born Luxembourgish midfielder is tempted by Barcelona and Paris Saint-Germain; for the eventual replacement of the former Lyon player, the giallorossi are thinking about Hamburg 19 year old Hakan Calhanoglu.
