Juve faces Pogba probe
Print Edition
FIFA says it has opened a disciplinary case against Juventus after investigating the Italian champion’s world-record sale of Paul Pogba to Manchester United. FIFA says “no disciplinary proceedings have been opened against United,” in a deal valued at 105 million euros (then US$116 million) last August.
The charges against Juventus were not specified but likely relate to third-party ownership rules. Pogba’s agent Mino Raiola reportedly was paid by both clubs and also on behalf of his client, and earned up to 50 million euros in the deal. FIFA’s ban on investors owning players’ transfer rights took effect in May 2015. The case is potentially embarrassing for Juventus president Andrea Agnelli, now a member of the executive committee of UEFA which pushed FIFA to ban third-party ownership.
