Juventus general manager Giuseppe Marotta has said that Arturo Vidal and Paul Pogba are worth the same amount of money as Gareth Bale.

Bale made the move from Tottenham Hotspur to Real Madrid for a world record fee earlier this month.

"If Bale is worth €100m (£85m), then the same goes for Vidal," Moratta told Mediaset. "Real Madrid expressed an interest this year, but selling him is out of the question so the interest ended there."

"We can say the same about Pogba. He's a solid element of the team and we've turned down all the offers we've received for him.

"He has exploded in an almost unexpected way, so compliments to the lad but also to [coach Antonio] Conte who has managed to get the best out of him."

Vidal scored 10 goals in 31 Serie A appearances last season to help his side to the league title.
