Is this insane – a football player to cost €105 m.? If we take a look back in the past, we can see Cristiano Ronaldo and Gareth Bale costed very close amount to Real Madrid, but when we talk about the Portuguese – he was a complete goal-scoring machine, who continues winning trophies for his teams and is an integral part of the team, because the building of the starting eleven starts from him!
Paul Pogba is a very, very good midfielder. But, his price is much, much higher, than he really costs! However, Jose Mourinho really doesn’t care about the price. He knows that he needs the player and he knows that Manchester United can afford to buy Pogba! Nothing else really matters for the Portuguese manager. Mourinho also knows that with the 4 complete football players he bought this summer, he will be able to win trophies. That’s why The Special One is so successful in football, because he knows what “tools” he need to win everything possible.
The former Manchester United midfielder, Paul Scholes, also thinks that the amount is too big for Paul Pogba. Scholes said that it is unduly to buy such a player for over €100 m., despite he is so talented.
To continue with, the French midfielder, who took part in the final of the Euro 2016, was Manchester United’s player 4 years ago, but didn’t sign a new contract at the end of season 2011/12 and joined Juventus with a free transfer. Since then, the Frenchman has become a world class player and was one of the key figures for the Bianconeri.
At both ends, now nobody talks about Ronaldo’s transfer and the amount Real Madrid paid to Manchester United. So, I think after a few years, no one will pay such attention to Pogba’s transfer from Juventus to The Red Devils.
