Juventus reach agreement to sign Pogba

After leaving Manchester United, Juventus have an agreement in principle to sign Paul Pogba on a free transfer.

The length of the agreement, according to Sky in Italy, is still up for negotiation. Either a four-year contract or a three-year agreement with an additional year’s option will be offered.

At the start of July, Pogba is anticipated to formally sign the contract.

Pogba’s departure from Manchester United at the end of his contract this summer was officially announced by the club earlier this month. Pogba would be returning to Juventus after a four-year absence before joining United in 2016.

Pogba is aware that this could be his final major career move as he approaches his 30s and wants to take his time to make the best choice possible.

Pep Guardiola met with Pogba and the club drafted a lucrative contract to show their interest in signing the midfielder from bitter rivals United. Manchester City also made a stunning bid to sign Pogba from United.

The World Cup winner did take City’s offer into consideration, but he decided it would not be worth the commotion and hostility that would follow.
