Nice chief Maurice: Huge competition to sign Pogba

That's according to Nice sporting chief Florian Maurice, who admits they will not compete for the former Juventus midfielder.

Pogba was released from his contract with Juve last month and can make a return in March after a four-year doping ban was reduced to eighteen months on appeal.

Asked if he would like to play for the Frenchman, Maurice said: “To be honest, I don't think we have the chance to bring Paul Pogba to Nice today.

“I think there are many clubs who will look into this matter, even though it has been a while since he last played.

“I think there will be tremendous competition at this level.”
