Paul Pogba and Carlos Tevez should only stay at Juventus if they are
prepared to move the club forward, according to coach Massimiliano
Allegri.
The pair have been heavily linked with moves away. Pogba is a reported
target for Barcelona and Real Madrid, while Atletico Madrid has emerged
as a potential destination for Tevez.
Having guided Juve to the UEFA Champions League final last season,
Allegri is keen for players not to dwell on their achievements and warned
Pogba and Tevez of the need to regain focus if they stay at Juventus
Stadium.
On Pogba, Allegri told La Gazzetta dello Sport: "Obviously this is a club
decision but certainly it's hard to say no to some figures.
"If Paul remains in Turin, he must do so with the right attitude and without
regret, because what we've achieved this season is only a starting point.
"To build the future of Juve, we need young motivated players who show
the right spirit."
Moving on to Tevez, Allegri continued: "It is his choice. But I repeat that
whoever stays must know that the work for next season will be even more
intense.
"I do not want people staying to contemplate their achievements."
With the futures of Pogba and Tevez unclear, Allegri was also quizzed on
potential replacements - as well as the value of Spanish striker Alvaro
Morata.
"[Morata] is a wonderful guy and a player who can only get better. You just
have to hope that at least the club gets between €70 million and €80
million [if he is sold]. This is the present value of Morata," he added.
"I think we should focus on him and on [Kingsley] Coman, another young
man of exceptional quality."
Asked whether Chelsea midfielder Oscar was a target, Allegri said: "I like
Oscar very much, he is one of those who can make a difference even in
Europe.
"I like Oscar, but I also like Isco, [Javier] Pastore, [Angel] Di Maria, [Toni]
Kroos."
