Juventus general director Giuseppe Marotta on Paul Pogba: 'He has said today that he doesn't want to leave'

Signs are beginning to point to Paul Pogba remaining at Juventus Stadium.

As reports continue to pile up linking the 22-year-old midfielder to some of Europe's richest clubs, Juventus F.C. sporting director Giuseppe Marotta claimed Wednesday that Pogba's wish is to stay put at the Old Lady.

"I reiterate we don't want to sell Pogba and he has said today that he doesn't want to leave," Marotta said, according to Sky Sports. "Pogba is a player that has been requested by several clubs but we have not entered any negotiation because we consider him strategic to our project. The player is not on the market and will only be put in the market if he says he wants to leave."

Marotta's comments fall in line with a number of recent statements he made, including the reiteration that Pogba is "someone we want to keep, not sell," and his assertion that "conditions are not right to put Pogba on the market."

Pogba, whose reported suitors include Manchester City, FC Barcelona, and Paris Saint-Germain, renewed his contract with Juventus until 2019 in October.
