Did you think the Paul Pogba’s saga and the rumors were over just because Chelsea’s bid to acquire the superstar was rejected? No doubt, I didn’t either.
Mourinho told Chelsea officials that Pogba is a must after today's game against WBA. A new bid expected soon.

Needless to say, this doesn't mean Pogba is off to Chelsea, nor Stones is. But Mourinho is obstinate and wants both.

“Stubborn” is Mourinho’s middle name. However, regardless of the fact that it weren’t, we’d be pointless to not use the remaining few days of the “transfer window” to either try tackle the greatest transfer of this late spring (if not football history) or, if nothing else, build some connections and get ready for upcoming transfer windows.
“There is a belief that Chelsea’s transfer team, name-checked by Mourinho on Friday, of director Marina Granovskaia and technical director Michael Emenalo, can get a deal done – but there are no guarantees” – –source: Independent
Juventus as far as everyone knows want at least £70m for Pogba, while the player himself is searching for a salary of £200k per-week. Those sounds crazy, they may even be over the top, but they’re in range within his value in football history.
At £70m + 5 year deal at £220k pw, Paul Pogba would cost £25.4m py. Chelsea's Yokohama deal sees the club earn an extra £22m py. Doable.

Paul Pogba was in Juventus’ squad as they fell to 1-0 opening day loss to Udinese. We have ten days to save him from such terrible misery – Let’s see what Jose Mourinho can do!
