JUVENTUS have confirmed Paul Pogba will sign his contract to return to the club on a free transfer within days.
The former Manchester United midfielder, 29, looks set to sign a three-year deal, with the option of a further 12 months.
Reports in Italy have suggested that the French World Cup winner will earn a basic salary of around £150,000 a week.
However, that will be boosted by a sizeable signing-on fee.
Everything now seems in place for his return to the Serie A giants — six years after he left to rejoin United in what was then a world-record £89million deal.
Juve chief Maurizio Arrivabene revealed: “Talks are progressing well with Pogba. This deal is gonna be key for us also on the commercial side.”

Italian transfer guru Fabrizio Romano also claimed on Twitter: “Deal 100% agreed, Pogba will play for Juve.”
United announced earlier this month that the star would be leaving this summer when his contract expired.
Paris Saint-Germain and Real Madrid were also keen on snapping him up but have been beaten to the punch by Juventus.
Pogba has been busy since quitting Old Trafford at the end of last season.
