Juventus CEO Maurizio Scanavino has broken the silence on Paul Pogba’s situation at the club, offering insights into the ongoing discussions and the player’s future. In a recent interview, Scanavino provided a candid assessment of the French midfielder’s status and the club’s approach to resolving the current impasse.
Scanavino confirmed that Juventus is actively engaged in dialogue with Pogba, stating, “We are talking to Paul. It’s a delicate situation that we are handling with the utmost care, respecting all parties involved.” This statement underscores the club’s commitment to finding a resolution that satisfies both the player and the team.
The CEO acknowledged Pogba’s potential, emphasizing that the midfielder still has the ability to perform at a high level. “Paul can still play football, and play it well,” Scanavino remarked. However, he also pointed out a significant challenge: “But we must consider that he hasn’t played consistently for two years now.”
This frank assessment highlights the dilemma Juventus faces. On one hand, they have a world-class talent with proven abilities. On the other, there are concerns about Pogba’s match fitness and readiness to contribute regularly after such a prolonged period of inactivity.
Scanavino’s comments suggest that Juventus are carefully weighing their options regarding Pogba’s future with the club. The ongoing talks likely involve discussions about Pogba’s role in the team, his fitness regimen, and potentially, the financial aspects of his contract.
