Official: Man Utd Complete World-Record Deal For Pogba
Manchester United have announced the signing of Paul Pogba in what is the most expensive transfer in football history.
The Red Devils have confirmed Pogba's move from Juventus to Old Trafford, and the deal is reportedly worth €105 million (R1.58 billion) – a new transfer world record – plus add-ons and agent fees
Pogba joins United on a five-year deal, and will reportedly earn €13 million (R20.5 million) net, plus another €7 million (R110 million) in image rights, according to Sky Sports.
“I am delighted to rejoin United. It has always been a club with a special place in my heart and I am really looking forward to working with José Mourinho," he told the club's official website.
Pogba replaced Gareth Bale as most expensive transfer in history – the Welshman previously held the record following his €101 million (R1.52 billion) transfer from Tottenham Hotspur to Real Madrid in 2013.
The 23-year-old Frenchman returns to United four years after leaving the club on a free, and becomes Jose Mourinho's fourth signing following the arrivals of Eric Bailly, Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Henrikh Mkhitaryan at Old Trafford.
Pogba made 178 appearances for Juventus, scoring 34 goals and assisting another 43 strikes, and helped the Italian giants to eight trophies, including four consecutive Serie A titles. By Lindelani
