Mino Raiola was effusive in his praise of the teenager after his match-winning performance in the Old Lady's 4-0 win at home to Udinese at the weekend.

The midfielder scored either side of the break to give his side a 2-0 lead, and further goals from Mirko Vucinic and Alessandro Matri completed the rout.

"His valuation is not a problem. You can't put a price on him. Pogba is not for sale," Raiola told Corriere dello Sport.

"Paul is a bit like a Dali-painting. Pieces of art are very rare and are worth a lot because they are appreciated by a lot of people. Pogba is just like that.

"Juventus fans are concerned that they might lose him to some rich sheik-owned club? That's an understandable concern. I always look after the interests of my players.

"Clubs like Bayern Munich, Barcelona, Real Madrid and Inter all enquired about Paul last summer."

The former Manchester United youngster's current contract runs until June 2016.
