Midfielder Paul Pogba's agent Mino Raiola hinted on Saturday that the French international may move away from Italian football giants Juventus next season.

Though Raiola added that the 22-year-old will not quit the Serie A side in January but insisted that there will be talks about his future in July.

"Paul is a lad who decides with his heart, and at the moment he's focused on Juventus. I can categorically rule out a move in January," Raiola was quoted as saying by goal.com.

"In the future we'll see, we'll talk at the end of July."

The agent also revealed that the young forward has no plans with Juventus beyond the 2015-2016 season.

"Last summer he decided to stay another year at Juve, and he kept his word. We're not preoccupied with thoughts of his future, we're thinking about that," Raiola said.

Raiola lauded the efforts of Pogba and said there have been a few offers made already which are still open.

"Pogba is no longer a surprise. He's not a youngster just being discovered. A player with his talent is known to everybody," he said.

"There have been offers for him, and they're still there."
