Paul Pogba's agent claims there is NO deal in place with Manchester United.
Executive vice-chairman Ed Woodward has been negotiating with Juve directors Giuseppe Marotta and Fabio Paratici to thrash out the deal which will be worth in excess of £100million and be a new world record transfer.
It is understood United have agreed to pay Juventus the massive fee for their France superstar and will hand Pogba a five-year contract worth £210,000-a-week, net.
But Mino Raiola, who will be owed a sizeable chunk of the final fee, has taken to social media to claim nothing is yet set in stone.
"There is no deal done regarding Paul Pogba, lots of bla bla bla," he tweeted.
As we revealed earlier this month, the price was set by Italian champions Juventus several weeks ago and the prospect of smashing the world record had not deterred United from their bid to take the player.
Woodward has missed the first leg of his club’s pre-season tour in China in order to conduct negotiations.
Jose Mourinho, the new United boss, has been keen to ensure Pogba returns to pre-season training - after helping France reach the final of Euro 2016 - with his Reds and not Juve.
Earlier today United boss Mourinho said he was confident of completing the final "25 per cent" of his transfer business this summer, with Pogba poised to return to Old Trafford having left in 2012.
“I don't confirm and I don't deny," said Mourinho. "I cannot tell. First of all because I don't think its correct to speak about players from other clubs. He's a Juventus player not a Manchester United player.
"The only thing I can say is that my board, my directors, did a fantastic job to do 75 per cent of the job I asked them to do.
"I asked them for four profiles of players, I gave them a few options and they did for me 75 per cent of the job and we just have 25 per cent to do before August 31.
"So we are in a great positon to do what I consider will be a great market for us. So we are calm."
United had previously offered a £100m package, including around £14m in add-ons.
The clinching deal is understood to have been secured at £100m with around £8m in performance-related bonuses.
It eclipses the £86m Real Madrid paid Tottenham for Gareth Bale in 2013.

Pogba has decided to rejoin the club he left in 2012 after two seasons because of a lack of first-team opportunities under then-boss Sir Alex Ferguson.
Pogba, now 23, has flourished at Juventus and emerged as one of the most coveted young players in Europe with United happy to pay the historic for a player they let go for next to nothing.
The Frenchman will become Mourinho’s fourth signing following the summer arrivals of Eric Bailly, Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Henrikh Mhkitaryan.
United have been confident of landing Pogba, aware that few other clubs would be willing to match the fee they were prepared to offer — and one Juve simply could not afford to turn down.
Asked about United earlier this month during an interview with ESPN in Spanish, Pogba replied: “It was my first family.”
While some observers don't feel Pogba dominates matches often enough to command such an eye-watering fee, former France striker and Arsenal legend Thierry Henry is not one of them.
“Forget about France, I think he can be one of the best midfielders in history,” said Henry during the Euros. “He has the quality to do that.
"He needs to make sure he concentrates on what he can do well.”
Old Trafford old boy Roy Keane is also a fan.
The Republic of Ireland assistant manager said: "What you're looking at, is the potential of him.
"He's still a young player and he will mature over the next few years, and that's why, if does go back to United, they're still buying that potential.
"But he will be a top player for the next ten years."
