After an underwhelming return to the club, Juventus are reportedly set to hold crunch talks with Paul Pogba come the end of the season.

The 30-year-old arrived at the Allianz Stadium in July 2022 following an erratic spell at Manchester United, and while his return to Turin was anticipated to be the start of a revival in his career, it has been anything but.
The France international has been plagued with a knee injury all season, and has not started a single match for the Bianconeri in this campaign.
With the 2018 FIFA World Cup winner having played a total of just 92 minutes across all competitions, the Juve board has become frustrated with the midfielder's lack of fitness.
According to Gazzetta dello Sport, however, while the club's hierarchy are agitated with Pogba's unavailability, they do not want to get rid of the four-time Serie A winner just yet.
Instead, it is claimed the record Italian champions will sit down with the playmaker to discuss his role for next season.
The club expects Les Bleus star Adrien Rabiot to leave at the end of the season, which would make Pogba the most senior midfielder in the squad, and it is said Juventus want to increase the Lagny-sur-Marne native's responsibility at the club and make him a key player for the years to come, with his current contract lasting until 2026.
