Juventus boss speaks out over ongoing Paul Pogba and Gonzalo Higuain transfer sagas
Duo could move this summer for a combined staggering fee of £180m
JUVENTUS manager Massimiliano Allegri has spoken out over the ongoing transfer sagas of duo Paul Pogba and Gonzalo Higuain.
Midfielder Pogba has been lined up with a world record move to Manchester United whilst Higuain is closing in on a astonishing £79 million move to the Old Lady.
But speaking after Juventus' 2-1 victory over Tottenham on Wednesday, Allegri laughed when questioned about the transfer fees of both players.
"I don't assign prices to players. The transfer market decides. That's just how it is.
"Each player has a value, some low, some high."
Jose Mourinho is attempting to land Pogba for a fee believed to be in the region of £105 million but the move has been put on hold with the player's agent, Mino Raiola, demanding a huge £25m in agent fees.
Manchester United are willing to pay their share but Juventus and standing firm over Raiola's demands.
