The transfer saga of the summer looks to be nearing an end.
The Football Whispers ranking is now at 4.5 with Pogba's agent holding further talks with Juventus to finalise the player's move to Manchester United, according to Sky in Italy.

Pogba left Old Trafford for Serie A four years ago but is understood to have reached an agreement over his personal terms. As well as around 13m euros net per season by way of salary, the 24-year-old will also receive another 7m euros a year in image rights.
2. Dimitri Payet (West Ham) - 2.0
Manchester United are considering a shock bid for West Ham midfielder Dimitri Payet, according to France Football.
Inter Milan are also thought to be weighing up a bid for the Frenchman, who would command a fee in the region of £50m.
3. Gabriel Jesus (Palmeiras) - 1.7
Speculation continues to surround the young Brazilian forward, who has a ranking of 1.7.
Dubbed the 'new Neymar,' a host of Europe's elite names are reportedly locked in a battle with United and City to secure the talented 19-year-old, who has impressed after a series of excellent performances for his club.
