10 Things Man City Fans Need To Know About Paul Pogba

2. He Could Be On £250,000 A Week

By far the most widely-reported angle of the potential transfer to Manchester City is the staggering wages Pogba would apparently find himself on. The 22 year old is predicted to be offered a staggering £250,000 a week, not far from the contract enjoyed by the far more experienced and established Wayne Rooney at United. A similar point of interest is the presumably huge transfer fee City would have to pay. Pogba is valued at ‚100,000,000 (around £70,000,000) by Juventus, meaning that certain sacrifices would have to be made to abide by Fifa's financial fair play regulations. It is speculated that City will offload several waning players including Dzeko and Yaya Toure to free up both the wage bill and transfer fee needed to bring Pogba to the Etihad - a risky, but potentially game-changing sacrifice.
