The game of football is surely
breaking the financial ceilings without much ado following a transfer that has
broken the previous record of highest ever fee paid for a player, less than
three years ago.
Manchester United has finally
completed the transfer of Frenchman Paul Pogba for a mind boggling world record
£89m transfer. The 23-year-old midfielder returns after four years away, having
left United in 2012 for £1.5m to Juventus who will surely be smiling to the
bank because of an £87.5m profit on their investment.United will pay the
Italian champions £4.5m in performance-related bonuses, and other costs,
including £4.2m if Pogba signs a new contract.
The fee surpasses the £85m Real
Madrid paid Tottenham for Wales forward Gareth Bale in 2013.
