Manchester United Move to bring back Pogba to Old Trafford with huge amount has since elicited a lot of reactions with the whole subject becoming controversial.
Pogba left after a fallout between Sir Alex Ferguson and his agent Mino Raiola led to him not agreeing terms on a new contract, so the Premier League club had to pay an enormous sum to bring back one of their own youth products just four years later.
Pogba sees his performances at Man Utd come in for scrutiny largely due to his huge price-tag, with debate raging on whether he was worth the investment given the club are yet to win the Premier League or Champions League since his return.
And now Pogba is embroiled in a new transfer saga.
The midfielder appears to have a good relationship with manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer and has had an impressive season for United in 2020/21.
But Raiola declared towards the end of last year that his client’s time at Man Utd was over and even though he later backtracked to say no move would be done in January, the player’s future remains uncertain.
Pogba is under contract until 2022, so a decision on whether he stays or leaves is expected this summer.
How much does Pogba earn?
Pogba is reportedly to have earned $34 million in 2020, with only five footballers earning a higher income.
Of that figure, $28m came from his salary with Man Utd, according to Forbes, with the rest made up of endorsements and other income.
While Ronaldo, Messi and Neymar have the biggest earning power in football, Pogba is right there in the next tier with stars like Mbappe, Salah, Antoine Griezmann and Gareth Bale.
His current United contract is reported to pay him the same or more than the latter quartet, so clubs who wish to sign him have to factor in his significant wages as well as the large transfer fee that is likely to be required.
Based on those numbers for 2020, Pogba earns $2.85m per month and an impressive $655,000 a week before any taxes and deductions so you can see why his net worth has reached such high levels.
That means Pogba is raking in just under $95,000 every day, with an hourly rate just short of $4,000.
Going even further, the Man Utd star earns $66 per minute and $1.10 with every passing second.
