Juventus are ready to step up their pursuit of Paul Pogba by offering Manchester United a pick of three first team players in exchange for the Frenchman, according to reports.
Pogba has been linked with a move away from Old Trafford this summer with Real Madrid and Juventus both keen on signing him.
Both clubs have landed some big names already in the transfer window with Madrid signing Eden Hazard from Chelsea and Juve bringing in free agents Aaron Ramsey and Adrien Rabiot.
And now Juventus are reportedly looking to steal a march on Los Blancos by offering up a first team player to help convince Manchester United to sell Pogba.
According to La Gazzetta dello Sport, the three players Juve are prepared to offer to United to pick between in exchange for Pogba are: Blaise Matuidi, Alex Sandro and Paulo Dybala.
Whether United would be happy to sign any of these three, or whether the players would be happy to leave Juve for the Red Devils remains to be seen.
Pogba upset United top brass earlier in the summer while in Japan.
The France international hinted he could leave United this summer, putting Europe's elite on red alert and forcing the Red Devils to slap a £150million price tag on his head.
"Like you said, there is a lot of talking and a lot of thinking as well," said Pogba.
"After this season and everything that happened this season, with my season being my best season as well.
"I think for me it could be a good time to have a new challenge somewhere else.
"I am thinking of this: to have a new challenge somewhere else."

I say take Dybala and 90 mil afterwards finish up a deal with inter for lukuka then use the funds to get a right winger and another centeral midfielder to partner with Bruno

I'm JB from Ghana..... I don't really know what these current managers of United are doing about Pogba's transfer issue. He has stated in his interview clearly that he wants another challenge somewhere so what are our current managers doing....go for Dybala or Douglas Costa and if Madrid are also interested, let them also offer Isco + cash and let Pogba leave

Who in their right senses can swap Pogba with any of the three players listed? To hell with those offers. Juventus must just pay the £150million for Pogba. On Pogba's end, this boy must just know that it's not professional to make the noise he's making whilst under Man utd contract. Whoever then goes on to buy him must know they are bringing a poor character, rotten apple into the group. I like Pogba a lot, so much that when Sir Alex Ferguson let him go the first time I criticised Sir, now I know what he'd seen....the boy has bad character. Now, liking Pogba for Man utd as I do, I still think he must be sold at the right price if he wants to go, no donations nor give aways
