Juventus WILL seal a return to Italy for Paul Pogba next month

Paul Pogba is on the cusp of sealing his return to Juventus, with an official announcement expected at the start of next month.

Pogba enjoyed his most successful time as a player in his club career at Juventus from 2012 to 2016.

During that time he won four Serie A titles, and helped them reach the Champions League final in 2015.

Sportsmail now understands he is close to tying up details on a return to Turin having ran down his contract at Old Trafford to leave Manchester United after six years as a free agent.

Manchester United bought the midfielder for a then world record fee of £89million back in 2016 having been in awe of his form at Juventus.

The French World Cup winner went onto make 226 appearances for United, scoring 39 goals, but struggled to reach the heights many fans had hoped for.

United confirmed that Pogba will leave Old Trafford for a second time when his contract runs out on June 30, bringing to an end one of the most disappointing - and costly - careers in the club's history.

Their farewell message to Pogba gushed over 'a career that had brought so many individual high moments, so many beautiful goals, assists and pieces of skill.'
