Official : Pogba agrees £8.5m a year contract away from Manchester United United ,he is officially not a Manchester United player ,as he reveals new club as it involves a swap deal .
MANCHESTER UNITED midfielder
Paul Pogba has reportedly agreed
to return to Juventus having
taken a huge pay cut.
The 29-year-old is available on
a free transfer with his contract
at Old Trafford to expire at the
end of the season.
Manchester City were believed
to have been keen to snap up
the 2018 World Cup winner, but
Pogba feared a fan backlash
from the United faithful.
Meanwhile Paris Saint-Germain
had been desperate to sign the
player in their bid to bring him
back to his native France.
But according to La Gazzetta
dello Sport, it is Juventus that have
won the race to secure
his services.
It will be the second time that
the Old Lady have signed him
on a free after he initially ran his
contract down at the Theatre
of Dreams in 2012.
He stayed for four years where
he won the Serie A title in each
season before returning to
United in a club-record transfer.
Gazzetta state that Pogba will
earn £8.5million-a-year in
Turin after bonuses.
The Frenchman has taken a
whopping pay cut in order to link
up with Juve again.
Pogba currently earns £290,000
-a-week at United, but he will
now be pocketing £163k-
per-week in Italy.
It is understood that Juve's sporting
director Federico Cherubini jetted
into London earlier this week
to hold talks with Pogba's
representatives.
Pogba is said to have been
offered a three-year deal after
Massimiliano Allegri made
him his top target.
According to the Daily Mail,
PSG swooped in late in order to
convince him to join the
Ligue 1 champions.
But it appears that Pogba has
his heart set on a reunion with
the Serie A giants.
