Nicolas Anelka has called for Juventus midfielder Paul Pogba to reject Manchester United and pick Chelsea or Real Madrid, should he decide to leave Turin.
The young French midfielder signed a new contract earlier this season, committing himself to the Italian champions until 2019, but he has since been linked with a summer move to a number of top European clubs.
Agent Mino Raiola has discussed the former Man United youngster’s future, saying he would join one of Europe’s elite clubs should he leave Juventus.
And, former French international Anelka has also joined in the debate.
“My preference is Chelsea, who have really big players and [owner Roman] Abramovich’s financial power, or Real Madrid, who are one of the biggest clubs in the world – if not the biggest,” the 35-year-old told France Football.
“And I can see him doing well there, with regards to his playing style and the coach there. Carlo Ancelotti would get a lot out of him.
“In his head, Paul will already know clubs that he wants to play for.”
