JUVENTUS have started talks with Paul Pogba's super agent Mino Raiola with the Frenchman keen on a move back to Turin to reunite with Paulo Dybala.
Pogba spent a year playing alongside Dybala for the Old Lady before he returned to Manchester United in a deal worth £89million.
Reports in suggest Pogba is "dreaming" of playing with Argentina star Dybala once again.
The two former team-mates have maintained the special bond they shared in Serie A and are thought to relish the prospect of a reunion.
Pogba has endured a disappointing injury-hit season at Old Trafford - making only seven Premier League appearances.
United have given him the green light to leave this summer with the club's bosses having slashed £30m off their asking price.
The United hierarchy appear fed-up with the circus that follows the World-Cup winning Frenchman and will now accept £150m for the 26-year-old.
Manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer and the board believe it is the right time to part ways with Pogba - who they re-signed in August 2016 after he won four Serie A titles with Juventus.

Last month Dybala hinted he would like the Frenchman to return to Italy so they could continue choreographing goal celebrations together.
He told Otro: "Paul and I have a good relationship and when we played here we were always looking for a new way to celebrate goals.
"We scored a lot of goals so the celebrations changed often.
"I hope that one day we will be able to celebrate again together."
United fans have grown tired with Pogba's failure to reach the heights he hit with Juventus with some supporters doubting his application and desire.
However, a return to Italy would delight Juventus fans who would love to see Pogba resume his partnership with Dybala.
The pair's link-up play was so good the Italian club even released an official video showcasing the assists Pogba made for the Argentinian on their way to the Serie A title in 2016.

Raiola seems to be the man in control of Pogba's future and the controversial agent angered Old Trafford chiefs when his demands led to United pulling out of the race to sign Norwegian striker Erling Haaland, another one of his clients.
He added fuel to the fire by brandishing the club as "out of touch" before Christmas.
Raiola claimed he would no longer bring any of his players to Old Trafford as "they would also ruin Maradona, Pele and Maldini".
