On a day when Paul Pogba announced what everybody knew for some time – that his is (again) leaving Manchester United, many United’s fans were just relieved, as they lost any kind of faith in the French international long time ago. It’s not really a pleasant thing for any man or women connected to the Red Devils to talk about a player who proved to be a total bust in his two tenures at Old Trafford, but who is still their most expensive signing and will probably remain so in the considerable future. But, to add more salt to the wound, the fans have found out that before he finally goes, he will collect some more money from the club.Juventus signed Paul Pogba from Man Utd for free in 2012,Sold him for £80m in 2016 to Man Utd andAre now getting him back on a free transfer from Man Utd. pic.twitter.com/nfojQTTcRC— Troll Football (@TrollFootball) June 1, 2022 As Daily Mail reports, soon to be former United midfielder will officially be gone on June 30th, but will collect additional 3.78 million pounds in a form of a loyalty bonus, which will bring his total cost for the club to a staggering 219 million! For that amount of money, he participated in 233 games, scored 39 goals and 51 assists and won two trophies (Europa League, League Cup). Not worth the money, for sure.A cold goodbye! Pogba leaves United with only the Europa League and the League Cup trophyUnited said goodbye to Paul Pogba the first time in 2012, when he went to Juventus as a free agent and Juventus paid them only 1.5 million pounds compensation. He came back with big fanfare from the Old Lady in 2016 for an 89 million on a five year deal. He soon fell out of favor with then coach Jose Mourinho, and never really got over it, even under Ole Gunnar Solskjaer or Ralf Ranginck. But, that didn’t mean he didn’t earn any money.21.45: (2.60) Italy (3.30) Germany (2.90)Apart from the initial 89 million, United paid Pogba’s now deceased manager Mino Raiola a provision of 39 million. As Daily Mail reports, Pogba was initially paid a basic salary of 8.61million – dropping to 7.75 once the annual loyalty bonus kicked in at the end of his first year – as well as image rights payments totaling 2.87m-a-year and a 1.875 bonus for each of the four occasions United qualified for the Champions League while he was there. So, the total bill for Pogba ended up being 218.93 million pounds. And he is walking for free! What a club…
