Chelsea and United target Pogba will 'cost £74m'

Chelsea and Manchester United will have to shell out an incredible £74m if they are to sign Juventus’ Paul Pogba, according to the players’ agent.

The French international has been linked with a return to the Premier League in recent months, despite signing a new contract with the Old Lady in October.

A host of other top European sides are also said to be keen, including European champions Real Madrid.

But his agent Mino Raiola has warned a deal for Pogba will set any potential suitors back £74m.

‘If Madrid want him, they can call me,’ Raiola told Marca. ‘He’s worth more than €100 million [£74million], but the price will be set by the club that buys him. I’m in contact with all of them, except Real Madrid.

‘For me, he is the flagship of a new generation, the star, the leader. Today, there is nobody like Pogba. Including Barça, there are only seven clubs that can afford him.’
