Juventus coach Massimiliano Allegri gave fans a new reason to believe in their chances of making it to the UEFA Champions League finals. Allegri revealed that French midfielder Paul Pogba is fully fit to play, and he might enjoy a few minutes against Cagliari, so he can be available to perform against Real Madrid during the second leg of the UCL semi-final against Los Blancos.
Pogba recovered from a thigh injury he picked up back in March, and his season seemed to be over when the news broke out. But Allegri, quoted by the team's official Twitter, stated otherwise.

The Italian manager revealed he will rest some of his players against Cagliari, such as Gianluigi Buffon and Carlos Tevez.
Neymar would welcome Pogba "with open arms"
Brazilian wingman Neymar spoke today about Paul Pogba's future, which has been rumored to be away from Juventus. Barcelona's Number 11 revealed he thinks Pogba would be a suitable addition to the team, given that with just 22 years of age, he is already having great impact in the world of football.

Neymar's opinion is interesting, since Italian newspaper Tuttosport revealed Juventus rejected an €80 million offer from Barcelona to sign Pogba. Although the French midfielder has not stated where he wants to continue his career, his agent has revealed he would leave Juventus for the right price.
