€105m plus a potential bonus fee of €5m, Juventus confirmed Tuesday.
“Juventus Football Club can today confirm that Paul Pogba has completed a move to Manchester United for a fee of €105m to be paid in two financial years,” the Italian club said in a statement.
“The consideration may increase by €5m on achieving given conditions in the course of the duration of the contract.”
The sum beats the previous record set by the transfer of Gareth Bale to Real Madrid from Tottenham Hotspur in 2013, “thus making Pogba the most valuable player in the sport’s history”, Juventus said.
United said earlier that Pogba had signed a five-year contract but did not reveal the cost. The British media had put it at £89m (€105m), not including agent’s fees.
The sum paid for the 23-year-old French superstar eclipses the £85m Real Madrid splashed out for Bale.
