Earlier, Club President Maurizio Zamparini had claimed that he would accept offers for his ' most prized possession' with a price tag of €40 million. And Juventus have agreed to meet the asking price.
The Bianconeri were looking to bolster their attack, with Tevez's future somewhat uncertain and Pogba being linked to numerous clubs.
This might prove a good signing for them.
