Manchester United has agreed to a world-record deal to sign French midfielder Paul Pogba. Sources quoted by goal.com state that the club had agreed a record 110 million euros ($121M), to secure the French man on a 5 year contract.
Goal also reports that a meeting held between officials from the Premier League club met and their Juventus counterparts earlier today discussed the deal to bring Pogba back to Old Trafford.The French international will be paid €13 million per season at the Premiere League side- almost three times what he was getting at Juventus.
Although these reports remain unconfirmed by either his current club or Manchester United, the fee of €110 million for Pogba, will set a new record, erasing a previous one held by Gareth Bale. Real Madrid paid €100 million for Bale three years ago.
Under new manager Jose Mourinho, the English club has already acquired the services of Eric Bailly, Henrikh Mkhitaryan and Zlatan Ibrahimovic to its squad ahead of commencement of the 2016/2017 season.
