Juventus plan 'buffer' Pogba solution in January

Juventus are drawing up plans to replace Paul Pogba.

Should Pogba's counter analysis still show he was doping, the club's intention is to find a 'buffer' solution for the rest of the season in January.

A player has not yet been identified, but will be similar to the Tanguy Ndombele deal last season for Napoli. Ie, an important name, even with a relative salary, who can be useful right away - and one who wants a change of scenery.

TMW says Juve's budget will not stretch to a top drawer replacement. But in the case of failed appeal, Pogba's contract will be terminated, so funds will be freed up for a new addition.

Pogba's counter analysis hearing for his failed doping test will be held mid-October.
