The agent of Paul Pogba, Mino Raiola, will hold talks with Juventus after Euro 2016 to see if he can broker a deal for the player to leave the club and join either Manchester United or Real Madrid.
Juventus are adamant that the 23-year-old Frenchman, who has a contract with the Turin club until 2019, is not for sale and will do everything in their power to keep him. They recently offered Pogba a new contract, which would extend his deal for a further two years and increase his wages from €5m to €7m a year.
However, José Mourinho hopes United will meet the player’s demands of €15.6m a year in an attempt to move ahead of Real in the chase for the player. That may still not be enough to ensure Pogba returns to Old Trafford, unless United can find an agreement with Juventus.
The Italian champions would dismiss a €100m offer out of hand but it is unclear if they would consider a bid of €120m.
United have already made three signings this summer, and following the arrival of Mourinho as manager – Eric Bailly, Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Henrikh Mkhitaryan.
