Manchester United have agreed to pay Juventus'
€120 million (£101.3m) asking price for Paul
Pogba, sources have told ESPN FC, and are now
hoping to come to an agreement over the final
fees in order to clinch the deal by this weekend.
If that is the case, Pogba could have a medical in
Miami by Friday evening, with the Premier League
club now so optimistic a deal will be concluded that
they have already made the necessary provisions.
The last detail that needs to be resolved is over
the €25m fee for his agent Mino Raiola, with
Juventus having previously insisted that United
must pay the sum in total.
However, the Old Trafford hierarchy are hoping
to bring that down by at least €10m and sources
have told ESPN FC that negotiations are now
going more smoothly.
That was not the case earlier in the week when
United were frustrated at the impasse, and
sources revealed that manager Jose Mourinho was
even considering setting a deadline on the deal
for next week. One source close to United had said
that the next 48 hours would be make or break
for the transfer.
Meanwhile, Real Madrid manager Zinedine Zidane
is a huge admirer of the France international and
wants to bring him in this summer, but president
Florentino Perez is not as determined to secure
his signature.
Real did make contact with Juventus this week
over Pogba, but sources told ESPN FC that Perez
was not going to pay as much as United for the
midfielder.
The possibility of a bid from the Champions
League winners did cause a stir at Old Trafford,
however, and forced a decision on Juventus' asking
price. They have now agreed to meet the €120m
fee, with only a few steps remaining for the
transfer to be concluded.
