Juventus legend Claudio Marchisio responded to an Instagram post by Paul Pogba, sparking speculation among Bianconeri fans that the Frenchman could make a return to Turin.
Pogba left Juventus for Manchester United in a record €100m transfer in 2016, but many Juventus supporters have long dreamed of seeing him back at the club. With his contract at Old Trafford set to expire this summer, Pogba is free to negotiate a pre-contract agreement with other clubs ahead of a potential free transfer.
Juventus are reportedly among the contenders for the 2018 World Cup winner, and Marchisio’s reply to Pogba’s cryptic Instagram post has fueled rumors of a reunion. The former Juventus midfielder simply commented, « boom boom, » a phrase associated with Pogba, which was enough to excite fans hoping for his return to the Allianz Stadium.
Marchisio and Pogba share a close friendship, having played together for four seasons at Juventus. However, whether the Bianconeri can offer Pogba a competitive salary while working to reduce their overall wage bill remains uncertain.
