Andrea Pirlo says Juventus are 'still laughing' at signing Paul Pogba for £800,000

Andrea Pirlo has reportedly said Juventus are "still laughing" at being able to sign Paul Pogba for £800,000 from Manchester United four years ago – before eventually selling him back for £89m.The Frenchman played alongside Pirlo for much of his time in Turin, winning four Serie A titles and establishing himself as one of the best players in Europe, before securing a world-record move back to Old Trafford this summer.37-year-old Pirlo, who now plays for New York City in Major League Soccer, is quoted by the Daily Telegraph as saying: "We were not laughing for any other reason than we were just in total disbelief that this player with so much obvious ability was able to leave a club the size of Manchester United for free — and I think Juventus are still laughing.
