The saga over 23 year-old Paul Pogba’s transfer from Juventus to Manchester United is drawing to a close.

The transfer has been one of the most heavily discussed prior to the next Premier League season, though it was previously reported that Manchester United had grown exhausted of the back-and-forth exchanges between the Italian club. Until August 31 anything can happen, but today he is not a Real Madrid player and I cannot talk about what will happen.
The long-anticipated transfer seemed to hit the rocks this week due to a disagreement between United and Juventus over who would pay the enormous 20% fee that was owed to Raiola.
EUROPEAN super-agent Mino Raiola has cancelled Paul Pogba’s medical with English Premier League giants Manchester United medical, according to reports in Spain.
The Juventus midfielder remains odds-on to complete a world record £112m deal to return to Old Trafford – just four years after running down his contract and quitting on a free.
Pogba has often been credited with preferring a move to the Bernabeu so perhaps this deal could still go through. “He will remain at Real Madrid”.
“Every club is interested in Pogba because he is a great player”. It also eclipses the previous world record transfer when Real Madrid paid a reported £85m to sign Gareth Bale from Tottenham Hotspur.
Earlier in the day, it looked as if Real Madrid could make a late swoop for the French International following comments by Zinedine Zidane. I always say the same to this question.
