Report: Manchester City tipped for £71m Paul Pogba move

Manchester City are prepared to break the British transfer record by submitting a £71m bid for Juventus star Paul Pogba, according to reports.

Manchester City are reportedly poised to submit a £71m bid for Juventus midfielder Paul Pogba.

The 22-year-old is heavily tipped to leave Turin this summer, with Barcelona thought to be leading the way for his signature.

The Catalans are reported to have had a £57m bid for the Frenchman rejected earlier this week.

Consequently, City, who were first linked with the ex-Manchester United starlet in May, have re-entered the race and are prepared to break the British transfer record to sign him, according to The Mirror.

On Saturday, Pogba played down speculation over his future by insisting that speculation goes part and parcel with being a footballer.

Sports Mole recently looked at five possible destinations for the towering midfielder, whose contract expires in 2019.
