The France international has blossomed into one of the highest-rated central midfielders in Europe since he left Manchester United for Turin two years ago.

His performances under Antonio Conte - and now Massimiliano Allegri - had reportedly caught the eye of the likes of PSG and Madrid in the past, but Juve have moved to tie down the 21-year-old for a further three years.

Club CEO Giuseppe Marotta told shareholders at Friday's meeting: "This morning we agreed the renewal of Paul Pogba, who will be tied to Juventus until 2019."

Pogba's previous contract was set to run out in June 2016, when Pogba will be poised to star for France in Euro 2016 in his homeland.
