Pogba To Leave Juventus, United Make £85m bid
Manchester United target, Paul Pogba, is happy to return to his former club, according to reports from Manchester Evening News. The news outlet also claims that Pogba has already sorted out his personal terms with the Red Devils.
Fresh reports have also come in from Sky Italy, stating that the Red Devils submitted a British Transfer Record bid of £85 million for the French International, which has since been rejected by the Italian Champions.
The offer was rejected by Juventus on Tuesday, although the Italians told Manchester United that any offer in excess of £100 million will be accepted. Sky Sports also report that Ed Woodward will place a second offer within the next 24 hours, that will meet Juventus’ requirements.
