105m euros. And its not solely about his current ability.

110m, with Juventus paying the taxes on the transfer and you paying Raiola.

With The Fat Rat as his agent, you guys better watch out.

I won't be surprised if it all turns in to a Mendes v Raiola personal battle in the end.

People might want to start paying attention to the massive revenue gap between the EPL and other top leagues. The EPL is blowing them out of the water. Sooner or later this revenue difference will start to matter and then even Barca and real wont be able to compete with EPL teams in getting top players. From what I'm seeing La Liga promotion is run ineptly in my country. The EPL is on channel 5 which reaches millions of people while what, La Liga sold its rights to BEIN a channel hardly anyone has or knows about. A lot of you guys are hardcore and will go out of your way and stream games online but La Liga basically surrendered the US market to the EPL, Was that payout really worth it La Liga executives are you that shortsighted and greedy?

Most people here dont understand it. They live in a complete bubble.

In fact, plenty of people here dont even want us to go on summer tours to large markets or change the match times to accommodate the rest of the world.

Seems like you yourself are in a bubble when you think people don't understand that the PL has shit tons of money.

What you fail to realize is that other leagues TV deals are also increasing, even La Liga now.

Top 5 money earning teams are: Real, Barca, ManUtd, PSG, Bayern.

Man Utd is there because of the massive Adidas and Chevorlet deals. Barca is also looking for a new sponsor on themselves and didn't we just close a new Nike deal?

What are you saying!? I can't hear you from inside that bubble.

Wheres the extra 5 come from? BBC say initially 105 so presumably there is bonuses and such but then again they have been wrong on several occasions before about fee's. And since when are agent fees added, might as well tally the wages too make it more dramatic.

When there is this much money floating around (Remember that chart? Its still only 19% of our yearly revenue and will be amortized over his contract) and you get players like Sterling moving for 50, Higuain for 94, Sanches and Martial for 60-80, fecking Watford rejecting 30 for Deeney then £89/105 plus whatever for Pogba seems like a good deal even if it is a world record. Can only help print even more money from sponsors.

Anything about Raiola is speculation at this point, by all accounts he does what his clients want Pogba wouldnt be here if he didn't want the move a long side Raiola. But well see in 3 years or so, Sir Alex hated him so that cant be good news.

We should all be happy. Happy he didn't join Real Madrid. Will follow United quite a bit this season. Plus, Mou is such a likeable Messi fanboy these days that I can only wish him well.

From personal experience for the US market the EPL is lapping La Liga, while La Liga is doing their best to take steps backwards. No effort to tap into the spanish speaking community, crappy TV deal on a channel most people don't have.... its not enough to just take a big check from a couple friendlies during the summer anymore when your competitor is operating so much more effectively.

La Liga can keep ignoring these markets but the EPL is twice as big by revenue as La Liga. If the disparity keeps on going eventually even clubs like Barca will become unable to compete with this super league with markets in Asia, US...

We could have had the guy if it wasn t for the damn sanctions.. we threw 60 mill under the bus.. im sure the only barriere was the 6 mounths without football.. no top player would accept that.. his value last summer was less than todays
