Paul Pogba set to undergo Manchester United medical - sources
details on Paul Pogba's world-record transfer, sources have
told ESPN FC, with the midfielder set to undergo a medical
exam to complete the move to Old Trafford.
United had already agreed to pay Juventus' £101.3m (€120m)
asking price for Pogba but had been in negotiations over extra
fees.
After protracted negotiations, United will pay a £95 million
(€112.6m) transfer fee for the 23-year-old plus £20m
(€23.7m) in agents' fees.
The amount that the clubs would pay Pogba's agent, Mino
Raiola, was a main sticking point in talks, as Juve had insisted
that the Old Trafford club pay it all.

sticking point and Real hovered, threatening to set deadline,

Sources say the three parties have now struck a deal, with
United negotiating to pay Raiola less than the initial figures
and Juve set to pay the tax on the deal.
Sources told ESPN FC earlier this week that Real Madrid had
been in contact with Juve to register an interest in Pogba, but
United's financial strength left them in pole position to
complete the deal.
