FINANCIAL INCENTIVE: United have reportedly offered Juventus player Paul Pogba £220,000 a week … after tax.
“Here, he has the conditions to develop in the most seen championship worldwide which is incredible and with a team that wants to bring Manchester United to the top again”.
Should Pogba kick-start a new era of domination at Old Trafford, once he has completed the formalities of passing a medical and signing for the club, it may even prove sensible financial speculation to accumulate even greater profits.
Pogba, who helped France reach the Euro 2016 final, has won the Serie A title in each of his four seasons at Juventus. “We will see tomorrow (Monday) if he is still a Juventus player”.
The drawn-out transfer story of the summer, Pogba’s move back to his former club – he left in 2012 for just £800,000 in compensation – is nearing completion.
That figure beats the current world-record transfer fee of an estimated £85m that Real Madrid paid Tottenham for Gareth Bale in 2013.
“Paul Pogba has been granted permission to have a medical in order to finalise his transfer from Juventus to Manchester United”, United said on their website (www.manutd.com).
He will be Mourinho’s fourth summer signing since he succeeded Louis van Gaal as United manager following the arrivals of Eric Bailly, Henrikh Mkhitaryan and Zlatan Ibrahimovic at Old Trafford. The then-United manager Alex Ferguson accused Pogba of not showing United “any respect” and insisted he was happy to let Pogba leave.
“It’s important, not just for United, that they sign players of stature and personality”, Neville told Sky Sports News HQ. He will get money in any club. Hopefully everything goes well in the medical, which I think it will.
Like the Irishman, Pogba is a tenacious box-to-box player who would be able to surge forward from the base of United’s midfield, probably carrying a more potent goal threat. I think there are players who cost £10 million who are super expensive because they are players £400 000 or £500 000 or £1 million, so what is expensive and not expensive in football? “On Tuesday I will be there waiting for him if that’s the situation”.
When the deal is completed, it is set to break the world record transfer fee and is expected to be around £95 million plus £20m in agent fees.
