Manchester City are ready to smash the British transfer record to land Paul Pogba.

Manchester City are ready to smash the British transfer record to land Paul Pogba. The club will go head-to-head with Chelsea and Barcelona in a £60 million-plus fight to nab the Juventus ace. The Italian club are understood to be resigned to losing Pogba but City believe they are in pole position to land the player they see as the natural successor to veteran Yaya Toure. They have tracked him for months and are prepared to pay the star named best young player at last year’s World Cup finals a staggering £225,000 a week to return to Manchester.
