Sky Italia reporter Valentina Fass says Juventus midfielder Paul Pogba is in advanced talks with Manchester United but negotiations over agent's fees are holding up the deal
Paul Pogba's move to Manchester United is stalling over a stand-off regarding who pays his agent's fee, according to Sky in Italy.
The France midfielder is understood to be in advanced talks with Jose Mourinho's side about a return to Old Trafford, four years after he left to play in Serie A.
While agreement on his personal terms has been reached, neither United nor Pogba's current club Juventus seem willing to pay the 20m euros fee Pogba's agent Mino Raiola wants for brokering the deal.
It is the sole sticking point which is currently preventing Mourinho from completing the last of the four key signings he wishes to make ahead of his debut campaign in Manchester.
Reporter Valentina Fass told Sky Sports News HQ's Transfer Centre: "Paul Pogba is really in advanced talks with Manchester United.
Agent Mino Raiola wants a 20m euros fee for his part in the deal which would take Pogba to Old Trafford

"They seem to have found an agreement with the player. He should be getting 13m euros net per season plus 7m euros a year for image rights.
"The main problem is the amount that the two clubs have to exchange because of the agent's fee.

"The agent himself was in Miami with the player. Pogba is still on holiday at the moment and should meet up with the Juventus team at the beginning of August.
"Raiola went to Miami to discuss further the issues because it is understood the fee for him should be really high, something around 20m euros just for the agent.
Pogba will be returning to United four years after he left for Juventus if the transfer goes through

"What has to be decided is who pays the fee because Juventus doesn't want to pay the fee.
"Manchester United, at the moment, doesn't want to seem to pay that amount of money when it's already spending 110m euros for the player."

Change agent?

Would Paul Pogba transform Man Utd?
Mourinho has already acted decisively in the market this summer, moving to bring in Eric Bailly from Villarreal, striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Borussia Dortmund midfielder Henrikh Mkhitaryan.
Henrikh Mkhitaryan is one of three signings United have made this summer along with Eric Bailly and Zlatan Ibrahimovic

The proposed Pogba deal is dragging out longer than any of those transfers did and the United manager has insisted he has other options he could pursue if required.
Among those linked with a switch to the former Premier League champions as an alternative is Blaise Matuidi, currently at Paris St-Germain.

James Milner: From bit part at City to big shot at Liverpool

The 30-year-old filled in at Manchester City, but he is fundamental at Anfield. He may not play in his preferred position, but he does so from one of power Jurgen Klopp had barely mapped out his way to Melwood before he first commended James Milner’s cerebral comprehension of the game.  “A complete football player, the perfect professional, a machine” was the German’s assessment after a 1-1 draw at Tottenham last October; his first fixture as Liverpool’s manager. Right at the start of his tenure, it was apparent on the training pitches at the West Derby complex that there was very little Milner could not do, and even less that he did not understand. With Zeljko Buvac, Peter Krawietz and Pep Lijnders helping Klopp bank the smallest details from every session - supported by the performance analysis team - the decision to utilise Milner as a left-back for the season was logical rather than some elaborate experiment. “It was clear that if Millie was open fo...

  The Swedish striker shows no sign of letting up despite his age but the writing is on the wall for his Old Trafford captain who is not missed in the starting XI or squad COMMENT BY LINEARSPORTS The latest signal that Wayne Rooney serves no purpose for Jose Mourinho and Manchester United came not in a game when he played badly or appeared out of his depth but one in which he was completely absent. The United squad stepped off the coach at Old Trafford for their Boxing Day fixture against Sunderland without Rooney, providing the decisive clue that he wouldn’t be involved. He had pulled up with an injury during Christmas Day training and Mourinho is already planning for Saturday's match at home to Middlesbrough without him. "Honestly I don't think so,” he said of Rooney’s chances of recovering in time. “Let's see. It's not a big deal but in four days I have my doubts." He probably wouldn’t start anyway, not the way United are p...
