No buy-out clause for Pogba

Juventus CEO Giuseppe Marotta says there is no release clause written into Paul Pogba’s new contract and that the club intend to keep him for the full five years of his new deal.

The France international put pen to paper on a new contract this week, reportedly tripling his salary in Turin.

The 21-year-old former Manchester United midfielder was linked with a move away from the club this past summer but Marotta issued a hands-off warning to any potential suitors.

"There have been no release clauses inserted, because the intention is to keep him for a long time,” Marotta told the club’s shareholders’ assembly.

“We deem the wage increase appropriate to Pogba’s value. The deal includes a fixed base salary and a number of bonuses tied to personal and team goals.”

Marotta also revealed the club have begun discussions over potential new deals with those whose contracts are set to expire at the end of the current season.

"Contractual situations vary in age, and personal and technical values," he said.

"All six players, [Giorgio] Chiellini, [Gianluigi] Buffon, [Sebastian] Giovinco, [Marco] Storari, [Stephan] Lichtsteiner and [Simone] Pepe, have great human values, but main factor is a sporting one. We have started negotiations with all of them."
