Juventus confident signing Pogba to €80M package despite Zizou doubts

Juventus are confident signing Paul Pogba.

As his contract with Manchester United expires this month, Pogba is expected to join Juve - six years after leaving Turin for Old Trafford.

There has been talk of Pogba delaying the move, with the midfielder waiting to see if PSG will appoint Zinedine Zidane as coach.

But La Gazzetta dello Sport says he will likely return to the Bianconeri.

It's said that he will earn up to €10million (£8.5m) net per season, made up of €8m plus bonuses,

The contract, agent fees, signing-on fees as well as various bonuses could take the total amount paid out for the deal up to €80m (£68m).

Rafaela Pimenta, the lawyer who has taken over the negotiations for former clients of Mino Raiola after his death, is working on a four-year deal for Pogba at Juventus.

Pogba is hoping to become the 'centre of a sporting project' after six difficult seasons at United, where he last won a major trophy in his first campaign back at the club.
