Manchester United are preparing the contracts and documents to finalise the signing of Paul Pogba from Juventus for €110m (£93m) plus add-ons.

The Italian club are set to formally accept United’s bid and were meeting Pogba’s agent, Mino Raiola, in Turin on Thursday to finalise the details of a transfer which will make the midfielder the world’s most expensive player.

The points to be settled at that meeting revolve around the add-ons. United have offered €10m and Juventus want a further €5m if Pogba extends his contract.

United have held their own talks with Raiola about paying the agent’s €20m fee, which Juventus have insisted the Premier League club must pay in full.

Pobga is set to become United’s fourth signing since José Mourinho was appointed as manager, following Eric Bailly, Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Henrikh Mkhitaryan.
