According to Italian publications, the star midfielder will be soon putting pen to paper on a contract extension with the Bianconeri.

If this rumor is to be believed, then Juventus will be definitely hanging on to at least one of their prized assets this summer.

With Arturo Vidal's future still up in doubt, not surprisingly, the Italian press has been searching for a way to at least report some good news regarding the reigning Scudetto champions as not to worry their legions of supporters.

Not surprisingly, Tuttosport, which is based in Juve's home city of Turin and has always been on of the first to report on all things Bianconeri, are now claiming that the French international is inching closer to signing a contract extension till 2019.

Staying put? The front page of Tuttosport talks of a pay increase to €3.2 million per season + €1 million in bonuses

Corriere dello Sport, on the other hand claims that the contract will be until 2018. But despite the discrepancy in the contract's end date between the two main sports publications, the obviously feeling and hope is that one of Serie A's top talents will opt to continue his career there as opposed to moving abroad.

Clubs like PSG, Chelsea, and even apparently his former club Manchester United were all rumored to be tracking the 21-year-old over the course of last season.

High praise: Juventus are close to tying down a "golden" Pogba with his signature soon to be secured in the coming days
