Despite interest from Real Madrid and a potential world record transfer bid from Manchester United, Dybala says Pogba will not leave Turin this summer.
Will Pogba stay with Dybala at Juventus?
Paulo Dybala has told Marca that after speaking to Juventus star Paul Pogba, he believes the Frenchman will stay in Turin this summer despite interest from elsewhere.
Pogba is currently one of the world’s hottest prospects, and it was reported only yesterday by Spanish paper AS that Manchester United had made a world record bid of £97.5 million for their former midfielder.
Real Madrid have also been heavily linked with a move for Pogba, with coach Zinedine Zidane said to be keen to bring his compatriot to the Santiago Bernabeu.

Pogba’s agent Mino Raiola recently highlighted Real Madrid’s ability to produce Ballon d’Or winners in another interview with Marca, intensifying rumours that the Spanish capital could be Pogba’s future destination.
However, when asked about his teammate’s future, Dybala said Pogba is more likely to stay than he is to leave.

“Pogba will remain here, I spoke with him and I believe he will stay,” he said. “We didn’t talk about football but I believe that will be the case.”
Diminutive Argentine forward Dybala has had an excellent season with Italian champions Juventus, scoring 19 goals in 34 appearances.

His form has also caused whispers about his own future, but he also moved to rule out a switch from the Bianconeri, telling Marca that “The fans love me in Turin, I am happy here and I’m not thinking about anything else.”
Dybala has made three appearances for Argentina, and he has been included in their preliminary squad for the Olympic games in Rio this summer.
