The football transfer landscape seems to be reaching unprecedented levels of excitement and staggering price tags as the end of the transfer window approaches.
All eyes are currently on Real Madrid’s potential acquisition of Welsh international Gareth Bale from Tottenham for a reported 94 million euros. However, the football world has been taken aback by the revelation that the transfer price for Paul Pogba has been set at double that amount.
In an interview with Sky Italia, Mino Raiola, Paul Pogba’s agent, stated, “How much is Paul worth? More than Gareth Bale, without a doubt. If Bale is worth 100 million, Paul is worth at least double. It’s not my fault but that of Florentino Pérez who set this price by recruiting Bale for 100 million. In my opinion, Pogba is a Salvador Dali because he is precious and important.”
Paul Pogba, the French international midfielder, is currently under contract with Juventus Turin until 2016. The football world appears to be in a state of frenzy as clubs engage in high-stakes negotiations, setting transfer fees that are capturing headlines and sparking debates about the valuation of top players.
