MANCHESTER UNITED have offered Paul Pogba a new deal on a whopping wage of £500,000 per week.
The midfielder, 28, is out of contract in the summer and free to talk to clubs across Europe this month.
Pogba, a French World Cup winner, is wanted by Paris Saint-Germain and Real Madrid, with old side Juventus also showing interest.
SunSport understands he has not yet decided whether he will put pen to paper on fresh terms.
United sources fear he will leave the club, but the new deal is around £100,000 more than Pogba is expected to get across Europe.
It would make him the highest paid player in Premier League history, on a basic wage of around £400,000 a week before add-ons.
But United still risk losing him to a top European rival side because he can command a massive signing-on fee.
Agent Mino Raiola is allowed to talk to clubs around Europe, with interest hot in one of the best free transfers in the summer.

United are refusing to sell Pogba this month – their last opportunity to possibly cash in on the Frenchman.
But the club are still preparing for his departure by lining up moves for several midfield targets.
West Ham and England star Declan Rice is believed to be their no 1 transfer priority for the upcoming summer.
Wolves’ Ruben Neves has also emerged as a target and the Red Devils could make a £35m move for the Portuguese this month.
