Juventus sporting director Fabio Paratici has appeared to rule out the possibility of Paul Pogba returning to the club in the near future.

Juve are thought to be one of the teams monitoring Pogba's current situation at Manchester United, where he is understood to be unhappy following a fallout with manager Jose Mourinho.

Barcelona and Paris Saint-Germain have also been linked with a move for the World Cup winner, but Juventus already know the player well having signed him from United in 2012 before selling him back to the club four years later.

Paratici confirmed that the Italian champions still have a good relationship with Pogba, but revealed that the prospect of a return to Turin has not been considered.

"We love Paul Pogba. We've a fantastic relationship with him," Paratici is quoted as saying by The Mirror.

"But we've never thought about his return at Juventus and we're not going to think about it."

Pogba still has two years remaining on his contract at Old Trafford and is thought to favour a move to Barcelona.
