Juventus star Paul Pogba is seeking legal action to sort an image rights issue which is hampering his chances of a move, reports the Daily Express.
Chelsea, Manchester United, and Manchester City have been linked with a move for the 22-year-old. The Bianconeri are thought to want around £56 million for the France international, but this problem could make that rise for the buying club. This will be embarrassing for the Red Devils, who let him go to Turin on a free transfer in 2012.
