Having had one bid rejected, Manchester United are set to throw a collosal €120 million for Paul Pogba.Such a move would break Gareth Bale’s transfer record, when the Welshman signed for Real Madrid, and United are reportedly ready to offer a salary of €300,000 euros per week.
That is on top of a €120m bid, according to Guardian, although the Bianconeri are keen to keep hold of the Frenchman.The Red Devils are willing to pay as much as €125m, say La Gazzetta dello Sport, in order to bring the midfielder back to Old Trafford, who spent part of his youth career at the club before leaving for the Bianconeri after his contract expired in 2012.
Pogba’s agent Mino Raiola flew out to Manchester to hear their offer in full, and he remains coy over whether he believes Pogba would leave the Bianconeri.”Paul leaving Juve? It’s a long summer, I wouldn’t exclude it,” Raiola said.Juventus could actually be tempted to accept this offer as it would allow them to trigger the €94m release clause for Napoli’s Gonzalo Higuain, and pursue other targets such as Andre Gomes of Valencia or Chelsea’s Nemanja Matic.
