Pogba-Manchester United, the details behind the operation
Another dramatic day on the transfer market yesterday when the news broke that Juventus and Manchester United have found an agreement for the sale of Paul Pogba.
THE DETAILS
Four years after leaving Old Trafford on a free-transfer, the 23-year old Frenchman will return to the Red Devils for a fee of €110 million making him the most expensive player in the history of the game. The full details of the deal will be published shortly when an official announcement is likely. The net figure will be slightly less than the 110 million quoted, but the Pogba deal will still surpass those of Cristiano Ronaldo and Gareth Bale.
THE CONTRACT
The breakthrough came at the same time Gonzalo Higuain was giving his first press-conference as a Juventus player. Pogba will sign a five-year deal at United worth €13 million net per season plus a series of performance related bonuses.
