Mino Raiola claims Manchester United 'saved themselves £100m’ on Paul Pogba as 'Juventus could’ve sold him to Real Madrid for £200m.’
Pogba returned to United in August 2016 for a then-world record fee of €110m, and Raiola explained a clause in the Frenchman’s Juve contract allowed him to join a club of his choosing, hence Madrid’s failure to sign him, despite offering the Bianconeri more money.
“Paul was an economic player,” the super-agent told Quote.
“A clause was included in our agreement with Juventus, which let him choose his next team by himself.
“I don’t push prices beyond limits. United spent £100m, but I think they would’ve had to pay £200m [without the clause].
“Yes, you heard that right. Juventus could’ve sold him to Real Madrid for £200m, but but Manchester United saved themselves £100m thanks to his clause.
“That way, the player was always in control of his future and able to make a decision independently.”

I can comprehend most of this story, tho what i can't quite figure out is why did the board have to offer this guy the number 10 shirt when we can now see that behind the scenes it was already obvious that they were expecting to part ways with him sooner rather than later. Not that i want to give too much thought to this crap just that i'm curious if Raiola really managed to trick our board into believing that Pogba was here to stay for longer when actually his only intention was just to raise his quota even more by marketing and maximizing the profits off him as a number 10... i think it's either that or Beppe&co were simply way too grateful to Raiola in the first place to actually even have a word in this.(to them it was all profit anyways)
