Juventus were reportedly insisting on a basic fee
of £101m (€120m), plus a further £8m (€10m) in add-ons.
Earlier on Wednesday, Sky Italia and The Guardian
had claimed that the Italian champions had refused an opening offer of £85
million (€101m), which came with £15m (€18m) of performance bonuses attached
which could have raised it to £100m in total.
Reputable French daily L'Equipe now report United
have agreed to that counter-offer and are ready to stump up the £101m (€120m).
That would see Pogba’s fee exceed that of current
record-holder Gareth Bale, who cost Real Madrid €100.8m when he moved from
Tottenham Hotspur in 2013.
Pogba, 23, has won four successive Italian league titles
with Juventus.
Should he join United, he would become a third high-profile
recruit by new manager Jose Mourinho, after Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Henrikh
Mkhitaryan
