Marotta: @paulpogba has just renewed his contract with us until 2019.
— JuventusFC (@juventusfcen) October 24, 2014 This is undoubtedly excellent news for Juventus, who looked at serious risk of losing one or both of their star midfielders -- the other being Arturo Vidal -- in the summer. While it's unlikely Pogba will actually stay in Turin until 2019, this new contract ensures that the bianconeri will be able to command a top price from any club wanting to lure him in their direction.
The Frenchman joined Juve from Manchester United on a free transfer back in 2012, and has since established himself as one of the club’s most important first-team players. Last season he played in all but two Serie A matches, and scored seven goals from midfield.
