Pogba Finally Signed For Manchester United In A World Record Fee

Paul Pogba has signed for Manchester United to become
the most expensive player ever in football
history.Manchester United have completed the signing
of Paul Pogba from Juventus in a world record fee. He is
now the most expensive transfer ever.
The France midfielder left United to join Juve in 2012
and becomes Jose Mourinho’s most expensive buy this
season.
The 23-year-old has now become the most expensive
player in football history, overtaking the deal that took
Gareth Bale from Tottenham to Real Madrid in 2013.
United will pay the Italian champions 105m euros for
Pogba, plus 5m euros (£4.5m) in performance-related
bonuses and other costs, including 5m euros if Pogba
signs a new contract. It surpasses the £85m that Real
Madrid paid Tottenham for Wales forward Gareth Bale in
2013, BBC reports.
"Manchester United is delighted to announce that Paul
Pogba has completed his transfer from Italian club
Juventus," the club wrote on their official website.
"Paul joins on a five-year contract, with the option to
extend for a further year."
According to Goal.com, Pogba is reported to earn an
astonishing £104m pre-tax salary over five years, a
figure that put off Real Madrid, who were also in the
running for his signature, with Cristiano Ronaldo the
only Los Blancos star to earn more than that amount.
The Frenchman made just seven appearances for United
during his initial stint with the club, and failed to
complete 90 minutes in the Premier League under the
management of Sir Alex Ferguson.
But while there was some bitterness on both sides at
his departure for Italy, Pogba has made the decision to
rejoin the club as they look to vastly improve on the
fifth-placed finish secured under Louis van Gaal in
2015-16.
