Juventus are increasingly confident they are in the final stages of completing a three-year deal for Paul Pogba, which will put him in their bracket of highest earners.
Sky Sports News has been told the Serie A side have been given verbal assurances that the midfielder will rejoin them following his exit from Manchester United as a free agent.
Negotiations have progressed smoothly with Rafaela Pimenta, who has been representing Pobga since Mino Raiola’s passing.
She has served as a lawyer at the late agent’s firm for close to two decades and is assessing requested tweaks to the contract on offer ahead of a closing meeting.
Beyond what Juve feel would be an inconceivable change of heart from Pogba, the club are optimistic all formalities will be completed soon despite Paris Saint-Germain and Real Madrid engaging in dialogue with his camp. Suggestions are that an announcement could tie into the Amazon Prime film on the France international titled ‘The Pogumentary’, which is set to air on 17 June.
