Juventus have been reassured that they have no reason to fear losing Paul Pogba, with the France international minded to extend his stay in Turin.

Pogba landed at Juventus in the summer of 2012 following the expiry of his contract at Manchester United, proving an instant success and helping the club to retain the Italian title last season.

 


His displays earned a call-up to Didier Deschamps' France side, combined with a recent admission from Juventus that they may not be able to keep him in the face of a big-money bid.

And the Bianconeri know Pogba is a wanted man, with approaches from Arsenal and the player's former club Manchester United reported to have been rebuffed over the summer.

"He is fine where he is", Raiola told Italian daily Tuttosport.

"We will extend [his contract] with Juventus, that is our intention", he continued.

"Juventus have nothing to worry about."

Pogba's current contract with the Serie A champions is due to expire in 2016.
