Independiente coach Carlos Tevez says he's available to Paul Pogba if he needs him.
Pogba is currently preparing his appeal against a four-year doping ban.
Tevez played with Pogba at Juventus and told La Gazzetta dello Sport: "He's a friend as well as a champion.
"No (I've not been in contact), but not because I don't love him. On the contrary. We are very close and he knows that he has all my support. But I think these are personal things and I'm not the type to get in the way.
"But I'm there for him and I'm there for him." I'll always be".
