On Friday morning it was claimed City believed they had beaten Manchester United, Barcelona and Real Madrid in the race to secure the services of the dynamic 22-year-old for a British-record fee.

Sportsmail understands that while a move for Pogba is far from close to completion, there is a belief at the Etihad Stadium that Manuel Pellegrini may well welcome the Frenchman, who left United on a free three years ago, into the fold ahead of next season.

Should that be the case, Pogba is likely to pick up in excess of £200,000-a-week.
Meanwhile, City are yet to make a third bid for Liverpool's want away winger Raheem Sterling.

They have had two offers turned down, the last one worth £40m, and are weighing up whether to make a final approach although that is thought to be likely.

Sterling has refused to sign a new contract at Anfield and the arrival of £29m Brazilian Roberto Firmino appears to have made the England man's exit inevitable.
