Juventus midfielder Paul Pogba reportedly wants an eye-watering 300k-per-week contract to move to Chelsea.
The Sun [via the Mirror] report that the French international is keen on a switch to Stamford Bridge, but it remains to be seen whether the Blues would meet the powerful player’s demands.
Beyond his considerable transfer fee—understood to be £70 million—as well as a mooted five-year contract, the Pensioners would be splashing out a remarkable £148 million to secure the international.
However, there is evidence that the former Manchester United man may well be worth the outlay.
The 22-year-old has already won three Serie A titles, as well as the 2015 Coppa Italia, and was part of the Juventus team that reached the final of the Champions League, only to fall to defeat against Real Madrid.
