Manchester United have seen a world record bid of £85 million (€101m) with £15m (€18m) of performance bonuses for Paul Pogba rejected.
According to Sky Italia and The Guardian the fee could have risen to a total of £100m.

Juventus want a basic fee of £101m (€120), plus a further £8m (€10m) in add-ons for the French international.
Italy’s La Stampa – the Turin paper owned by the Agnelli family, which controls Juventus as well as the Fiat car company – says a deal between the two clubs is close.
According to Corriere dello Sport reports that a compromise figure of £105m (€125m) will be agreed on shortly.
Pogba, 23, has won four successive Italian league titles with Juventus.
Should he join United, he would become a third high-profile recruit by new manager Jose Mourinho, after Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Henrikh Mkhitaryan.
Pogba who left Old Trafford four years ago is reported to have agreed personal terms already – £250,000 a week for five years – with only the transfer fee set to be decided.
United are in China for a short pre-season trip but executive vice-chairman Ed Woodward has stayed behind to lead the Pogba negotiations.
