Manchester United will stump up £105m to sign Paul Pogba, and Real Madrid will turn their attention to Portuguese midfielder Andre Gomes.
“According to sources close to the deal, United’s superior financial strength has given them a huge advantage in negotiations with Pogba’s agent, Mino Raiola, and forced Real to admit defeat in their pursuit of the player.
“At this point in negotiations, the basic transfer fee for Pogba is understood to start at around £85m (€100m).
“However, when taking into account add-ons and bonuses related to the success of the player and the club – as well as Raiola’s fee – the total amount United could pay for Pogba’s transfer could reach over £105m (€123m).
This is not including the player’s contract, which is expected to comfortably exceed £65m, were the club to pay him a basic salary of £250,000 per week on a five-year deal.
“The fact that Manchester United have shown willingness to meet these demands, but also potentially go further if a bidding race with Real plays out over the remaining weeks of the transfer window, has proved too much for the Spanish club’s president Florentino Perez.
“Sky sources have confirmed Perez accepts his club cannot compete with United financially, so has withdrawn from negotiations.
“SNHQ understands Real will now turn their attention to Valencia’s Portuguese midfielder Andre Gomes.
“Gomes is expected to become the subject of a £42m (€50m) transfer bid from Real after the conclusion of Euro 2016.”
