It's no secret that Juventus director general Giuseppe Marotta wants to keep Paul Pogba at his club.

With the 22-year-old defensive midfielder's future clouded by uncertainty, Marotta, who is also Juventus's sports department chief executive, recently stressed that Pogba is not for sale, saying "conditions are not right" for the player to be put on the market. On Thursday, he once again stressed his desire to keep Pogba at Juventus Stadium.

"Our goal is not to weaken the team, but to strengthen it," Marotta told Mediaset, according to Sky Sports. "Pogba is someone we want to keep, not sell."

Pogba, who is linked with moves to Paris Saint-Germain, Real Madrid, Chelsea and Manchester City, renewed his contract with Juventus until 2019 in October. However, the prodigy's agent, Mino Raiola, continues to insist that the "right offer" would be enough for his client to leave the Serie A champions.
