Manchester United are closing in on a world record £100million deal for France's Euro 2016 star Paul Pogba.
United are ready to table the bid for the Juventus midfielder once his participation in the Euros ends with Sunday night's final against Portugal, and they believe they can succeed in bringing the 23-year-old back to Old Trafford.
Pogba left United for Juventus on a free transfer in 2012 after growing tired of a lack of first-team opportunities under then boss Sir Alex Ferguson.
Since then Pogba has flourished at Juventus and emerged as one of the most coveted young players in world football, with Real Madrid also in for him.
But United believe they are in pole position to land Pogba, with executive vice-chairman Ed Woodward having established a strong working relationship with Mino Raiola, the player’s agent.
Raiola represents Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Henrikh Mkhitaryan, both of whom joined United this summer, with the Reds increasingly confident of making it a hat-trick of his clients with Pogba.
United are willing to pay Pobga £11.5m a year in a package that could cost in excess of £150m, with the player set to be handed a five-year deal.
The £100m transfer fee would eclipse the current world record £85m fee Real Madrid paid Tottenham for Gareth Bale in 2013
