Sometimes you ought to leave your current state or condition and move ahead, for better days are ahead of you. You don’t have to be tied down, for destiny awaits you ahead.
Since Manchester United let go of Paul Pogba, the star player knew he has his destiny in his hands; now he is set to undergo a medical ahead and on the brink of re-signing world-record deal worth £92 million with former club, Manchester United.
The 23-year-old has been granted permission by Juventus to seal a £92 million transfer four years after leaving for Italy for a nominal fee of £1.5 million, which will leapfrogs Gareth Bale’s £86 million move from Tottenham Hotspur to Real Madrid in 2013.
United will pay 105m euros for Pogba and performance-related bonuses and other costs could see that figure rise. Pogba made just seven appearances for United under Sir Alex Ferguson before leaving and is now on the verge of becoming Jose Mourinho’s fourth summer signing after Eric Bailly, Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Henrikh Mkhitaryan.
The midfielder will have a medical in the next few days with the deal due to be completed in midweek. Confirmation of the medical comes an hour before Mourinho leads United out at Wembley in the Community Shield season curtain-raiser against Premier League champions Leicester City.
Speaking to BT Sport after the game, United boss Jose Mourinho said:
“It’s amazing that such a good player is with us. Finally we have him. “He
comes to a winning side – a team which has won their last two matches,
in the FA Cup final and today. He has to work hard to get in the team.”
In four seasons in Turin, Pogba, who helped France reach the Euro 2016 final, won four league titles. He is Mourinho’s fourth signing at United, after Eric Bailly, Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Henrikh Mkhitaryan, and definitely the last for the Portuguese man.
Pogba’s agent, Mino Raiola, also represents striker Ibrahimovic, who signed for United on a free transfer from Paris St-Germain, and midfielder Mkhitaryan, who joined from Borussia Dortmund.
