Sky Sports reported on July 19: `Man Utd’s outstanding financial strength has given this club a great advantage in negotiations with Pogba’s representative, Mr. Mino Raiola.
After negotiations until July 19, Pogba’s basic transfer fee alone is said to be no lower than $110 million.
To be successful in this big deal, Man Utd will also have to accept the bonus requirements for the 23-year-old player, along with additional fees paid to Juve related to Pogba’s level of success in the future.

In total, the Old Trafford club may have to spend $138 million to get the signature of the midfielder they let go for free four years ago.
Famous Italian sports daily Gazzetta dello Sport also reported on July 18 that Man Utd had increased its offer to Juventus to more than $138 million.
Coach Zidane also really wants to have Pogba this summer to strengthen the defense of Real Madrid’s midfield, to balance the attack and defense of the team, which currently has a surplus of attacking stars.
But according to Sky Sports sources, President Florentino Perez has accepted the fact that negotiations regarding the midfielder’s transfer cannot continue.
Broker Raiola and Man Utd Executive Vice President Ed Woodward regularly negotiate with each other during this summer transfer window.
Brokerage tycoon Raiola promises to be an effective bridge to bring Pogba to Man Utd.
Pogba was a player in Man Utd’s youth training line and played for the team in a few matches in the 2011-12 season.
After making incredible progress and shining for Juve over the past four seasons, he became Man Utd’s number one transfer target from the moment Jose Mourinho was contacted to negotiate for the new coach position earlier this year.
Pogba is one of four high-class players that Mourinho asked the Man Utd board of directors to make efforts in transfer negotiations to strengthen the squad.
But Mourinho believes that this player is an important part of the process of rebuilding a Man Utd squad that is high enough to compete for titles in the European arena as well as the Premier League.
