In there it clearly says up to £50m.

Yeah why not pay our most talented midfielder. Will you prefer we pay you instead? Maybe you haven't noticed, but Ole and our management team wants to pay him that. What you and others think is irrelevant.
Inappropriate Content
So I'm guessing you're one of the mindless on here happy to give Pogba £350k?
If so, don't ever have kids.
Yeah but when they say something they're usually good for their word. A tier below official club confirmation
The one I linked you to and quoted the text that said rising to £50m.
You've just linked me to the same page. Here is some text beyond the first line:
Yup, I found it! Stoney with a major typo
Some great memories there. The West Ham game with Pogba's cracker, plus Cavani and Greenwood's great finishing.
Lindelof is really at fault for so many conceded goals, his positioning and weakness are definitely a target for the opposition.

Obviously maths is not included in the licence fee.
Upto, with a starting figure of £34m.
People are posting £44m plus addons with breakdowns attached.
Clearly people on here are a bit lacking in education
You’re the one comparing Jones and Pogba and he is the mindless one?
Clearly, some are.
it's pretty baffling. Fans surely can't be happy with their dealings so far, looks absolutely shambolic.
Oh the irony
Can someone explain this solidarity fee to me?
Quality control
And you're clearly unable to comprehend sarcasm.
You must go home from a night out, thinking you're god, after a girl says something nice to you.
Learn what sarcasm is, then you will actually see how irrelevant you are to the species.
You okay? You seem upset.
Yeah, i hate that too, it's why I use a drycleaner.
There is a fee owed to Lens because they developed Varane at their academy. On a transfer this size it will be a couple million. So they haggled over who would cover that amount. It’s just one of the more minor details that have to be negotiated.
Why the feck are they headlining the max possible fee?
surreal signing - Varane!!!
Pretty amazing fee considering City spent £40 million on a recently relegated Nathan Ake last year as a comparison
Someone got out the wrong side of the bed? Take a chill pill
At least they didn't add in wages and agent fees this time.
I think it's mandated by FIFA.
Media is all about sensationalism.
I wasn't trying to be jerk about the exact figures.
And yes, that's the main point - getting both of them for the same money we were quoted last summer. Although I probably wished at various points last summer that we just go and pay what Dortmund were asking, I feel we've done shrewd business waiting a year and getting them both for the £107m. It changes the whole narrative from 'Can Sancho justify his price tag?' to 'United show that they can make good deals' and puts the club in a better light.
Had we got him last summer for £108 then he would've been branded 'most expensive player in the PL/Manchester United' and he would've had a lot of pressure from the media that definitely would've got to him. On top of that the media likes to spin things and fans would've got the wind and not before long he would've been on the receiving end of some nasty online abuse. I like to believe the club took all that into account when weighing up their options.
Yeah i'm good, just reading posts by people unable to grasp the difference between euros and pounds and base fees and total fees.
Seems 1+1 = £50m plus addons thesedays
“My guy” is a bit complicated in this case as I have followed Varane since he moved to Madrid 10 years ago. Varane and Ramos were my favourite CB pair for many years and even if Varane always was in the shadow of Ramos, I rated him as one of the best in la liga.
I think he has a good chance of also becoming one of the best in the PL if he can adapt to the physical league and improve that part of his game. My biggest concern would be he might already have passed his peak and that a long contract with one of the highest salaries in the PL is a bit of a risk.
Can someone photoshop Matt Judges' face onto the Terminator 2 Judgement Day film poster?

Now you're advocating drug use.
Wow this thread today
Well the £44m was a typo, meant £42m. It’s reported as £34m with £8m as addons (which will surely be worthwhile, should we ever get to the point of triggering them).
But my point is, UK media will often report the Euro price as the GBP price, without converting. £42m is around €50m. Already some UK news outlets are reporting £50m. They’ve taken the Euro price and slapped the pound symbol in front of it.
Add ons shouldn’t even be mentioned in the transfer fee total, but with United they always are. Our transfer fees already end up being inflated by the media. These deals are just too complex to be broken down like this.
Because Man Utd are buying him and not Man City.
As per FIFA rules, clubs are required to pay a small portion(s) of the transfer fee to the player's previous club(s) that were involved his education and development. From FIFA's Regulations on the Status and Transfer of Players:
The mechanism:
Wondering what others think about this on cafe, Better we move on from Pogba?
With this signing on top of Sancho, it really feels like United are back.
This is the best transfer window the club has had in a long, long time.
This is the best transfer window the club has had in a long, long time.
Because Sky knows we are going to win the league.
Cheeky feckers, they really did. It raises to 50 million EUROS, not pounds.
