A report has emerged which says that French international midfielder Paul Pogba rejected a huge summer move to Chelsea in the summer.
Italian publication Gazzetta dello Sport say that Chelsea made a €85million (£62million) bid for the Juventus man, but the player turned down the chance of a transfer.
They go on to say that the move would have also seen Brazilian attacking midfielder Oscar going in the opposite direction, leaving London for Turin.
Pogba joined Juventus from Manchester United in 2012 and has been a key member of their team, and has helped lead the Turin side to a lot of recent success.
Gazzetta dello Sport also say that had he accepted the offer, Pogba would’ve earned a yearly salary of £8.7m.
Whether Chelsea go back in for the Frenchman remains to be seen, although it might cost them more if they do. Just recently, Juventus’ director general Beppe Marotta said that it would take a bid of €100million for the Turin club to even consider selling.
