Italian Serie A giants Juventus on Tuesday reached an agreement to sign Paul Pogba on a free transfer from Manchester United.
It is understood the 29-year-old is expected to be in Turin on Saturday to sign an expected four-year deal with his former club who have made only one signing so far in the current transfer window following the acquisition of Tyrell Malasia.

The France international opened up on his United exit in his Amazon Prime documentary, named The Pogmentary, saying: “My thought process is to show Manchester (United) that they made a mistake in waiting to give me a contract.
“And to show other clubs that Manchester had made a mistake in not offering me a contract.”
United made Pogba at least two offers worth more than the existing £290,000-a-week deal that had already made him one of the best-paid players in the Premier League.
Pogba rejoined United from Juventus in the summer of 2016 for a then world-record fee of £89 million.
He struggled with injury all of last season and did not feature for United after their 4-0 defeat by Liverpool on April 9.
In total, Pogba played 26 times for United during the 2021-22 campaign, with 20 of those from the start.
