Juve nightmare, Pogba risks 4-month layoff: need a big man in midfield

Pogba likely to miss World Cup, now Juve wonders about midfield

Paul Pogba’s injury troubles Juventus: according to reports in La Gazzetta dello Sport, the lateral meniscus injury suffered in training is likely to be more serious than expected. The French midfielder, who returned to Italy from the U.S. tour, will undergo surgery and could stay as long as four months, jeopardizing his participation in the World Cup in Qatar.

Juventus meanwhile is rushing to find remedies in the market: Massimiliano Allegri has blocked the departures of Rabiot and McKennie, only Arthur will probably say goodbye to the Bianconeri. Inbound, a big midfield coup is needed; the Turin club is accelerating negotiations for Leandro Paredes, although the distance to Psg’s demands is still clear.

Another name that has been mentioned to the Bianconeri in the last hours is that of Saul Niguez, a midfielder of Atletico Madrid and the Spanish national team, who has just returned from a negative experience on loan at Chelsea.
