Sincerely, do you think Pogba is overrated? Or you agree that the hype about him matches his talent?Former Juventus striker David Trezeguez says Paul Pogba should stay at the club and become a defining figure in their modern history.
The France international has been linked with a mega-money summer move to a number of Europe's top clubs, including Juve's Champions League final opponents Barcelona.
Trezeguet, however, believes the Serie A champions will construct a team around the midfielder for the coming years and thinks the 22-year-old would be best served staying put.
"Paul Pogba, in relation to his age, is impressive. He has technical qualities, speed and he is very well placed on the pitch. He has an exceptional level," he told RMC.
"In a short time, he showed his qualities. He became the most important player of the club. He also gained confidence. He is appreciated a lot by his team-mates. He is aware that he is at a club that protects him a lot and he can mark the club's history. The arrival of Patrice Evra helped him a lot through the advice he's given.
"I have not spoken to him about his future. We [Trezeguet and Juve directors] tried to leave him alone so he could heal after his injury. Now, he finds himself in the final of the Champions League. Things will be put in place after that.
"But he's aware that he's with a top-level club with great ambition, and we'll continue to progress from last season. We want to become the club we were before.
"My advice to him is to stay. He could mark the history of Juventus. The club can build around him and we are already working on it. He knows all that."
Trezeguet acknowledges Barcelona are favourites for Saturday's clash in Berlin but has backed Massimiliano Allegri to exploit the weaknesses within the Liga champions' set-up.
"We are aware that we're facing 'the team to beat', but we are also aware that we've shown our qualities during this season," said the former France striker.
"It'll be a tough game, but we know we will play hard to try to win the treble. Barca are favourites but, historically, we've often put Spanish teams in difficulty.
"We know that, against [Lionel] Messi and others, it will be very difficult. But we have a coach who works on all the details and we will try to take advantage of their weaknesses. There are not many, but they are there."
Meanwhile, Barca transfer chief Ariedo Braida has refused to comment on any potential signings given that the clash is just three days away.
"I can't say anything right now, especially on the doorstep of the Champions League final," he told Sportalia. "It would be bad professionalism if I started talking now about transfers and players from an opponent."
