On Monday, Juventus Turin officially unveiled Paul Pogba as a new signing for the coming season. The free return to Juventus creates a curious transfer record.
Another return for free: When Manchester United brought Paul Pogba back from Juventus Turin in 2016 for a transfer fee of 105 million euros as the most expensive transfer in club history, they had imagined a successful cooperation. On Monday, Juventus will present the 29-year-old as a new signing for the second time (as in 2012) and he will again come from the Red Devils on a free transfer, reports “Transfermarkt”.
Short, compact, clear
Most valuable free transfer: The market value of the central midfielder has now fallen from 100 million euros to 48 million. While Pogba is ManUnited’s most valuable free transfer, the Frenchman is Juventus’ most valuable free transfer. At the Bianconeri, Pogba has been handed a four-year deal.
‘Manchester made a mistake’: ‘My idea is to show Manchester that they made a mistake by waiting to offer me a contract. And to show other clubs that Manchester made a mistake when they didn’t offer me a contract,” said the midfield star recently in his own documentary “The Pogmentary”.
