Man City swoop for former Man United star Paul Pogba is on hold

And it has also become clear that the France midfielder would have to ask Juventus for a transfer if he is to leave Italy's champions. City's move for the former Manchester United trainee is on hold - but it is not dead. The proposed deal has become complicated, though, by a former representative still having a stake in Pogba's image riights. City want total control of that situation, arguing they are entitled to that if they are paying a transfer fee of £80million and wages to Pogba, 22, of £250,000 a week.
