Italian football champions Juventus' midfielder Paul Pogba is currently undergoing medical tests in England in preparation for a move to English Premier League side Manchester United on Monday.
Italian newspaper La Gazzetta dello Sport on Sunday reported that the French player, who just finished his vacation following participation in Euro 2016, arrived on Saturday in the city of Manchester to undergo medical examinations, reports Efe.
Manchester have hired Portuguese coach Jose Mourinho and Pogba's deal is believed to be around 110 million euros ($122 million) deal.
Pogba arrived in Juventus in 2012 from United for just 1 million euro ($1.1 million), but now, he is about to be the most expensive football player in history so far.
