Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho has left the door open on a transfer for Juventus midfielder Paul Pogba, but couldn’t help but have a dig at Max Allegri.
Reports in England this week suggested that the Premier League champions were preparing a bid consisting of money plus Juan Cuadrado to prise the Frenchman away from Turin.

Juve have been resolute this summer in that Pogba would not be leaving and he was recently handed the No.10 shirt ahead of the new campaign.
However, Mourinho didn’t rule out a move and hit out at rival Allegri for discussing his players over the summer.
“I can’t speak about a Juventus player,” Mourinho told reporters in his Press conference.
“I know Allegri was speaking all summer bout [Chelsea players] Oscar and Ramires, but I don’t do that.”
Allegri had specifically suggested that Oscar would be a great signing for the Italian giants, and clearly Mourinho didn’t take kindly to the public nature of his comments.
Nevertheless, it is unlikely that Pogba will be moving to London before the end of the month, while there had been suggestions that Barcelona have an agreement with Juve for a transfer next summer if the club decides to sell him.
