The Bianconeri boss has conceded that "certain figures are hard to say no to" and suggested star striker Carlos Tevez could depart
Massimiliano Allegri has conceded that Juventus could sell in-demand midfielder Paul Pogba this summer for the right price.
The France international has been heavily linked with a move away from Turin, with Barcelona, Real Madrid, Manchester City, Chelsea, Manchester United and Paris Saint-Germain all tracking a player who could fetch a fee as high as €100 million.
Allegri is desperate to hold on to the 22-year-old but admitted that the decision is out of his hands.
"Obviously, with Paul, we're talking about a corporate choice - not a technical one: certain figures are hard to say no to," the Bianconeri boss told the Gazzetta dello Sport.
"But if Paul remains in Turin, he has to do with the right attitude and have no regrets.
"Because what we have achieved this season is only a starting point and, to build for the future, Juve need motivated young players and veterans who will convey the right spirit to their team-mates."
Carlos Tevez's future is also up in the air, with the Argentine considering a return to Boca Juniors while reports have also suggested Atletico Madrid and Paris Saint-Germain want him.
Again, Allegri wants Juve's top scorer for the past two seasons to at least see out the final 12 months of his contract with the club but knows that the desire of the player will be key.
"Carlos' future also depends on him," the ex-AC Milan boss added. "It is his choice.
"But then again, those who remain have to know that the work for next season will be even more intense. I do not want people stopping to rest on their laurels."
