Paul Pogba: The never-ending transfer saga of the $120M man

It's the transfer story which has dragged on for weeks -- if not months.

So will Manchester United and Paul Pogba, who plays for Italian club Juventus, ever get it together?

Every year there's a European summer transfer saga, whether it be David de Gea and Real Madrid, Raheem Sterling to Manchester City or Robin van Persie's move from Arsenal to Manchester United.

This time around it's Pogba's turn and his supposed $120 million return to United -- the club he left back in 2012 for a paltry $1million.

If the France international does move for that kind of transfer fee -- neither United nor Juventus responded to CNN's request for comment -- it will make Pogba the most expensive footballer of all time.

So how does a club go from losing a player for next to nothing to breaking the world record and re-signing him? And just what is taking so long?

What's the deal?

Amid the fevered daily newspaper and website updates on his potential return to England, Pogba has been chilling out playing basketball or cooling off in the swimming pool. And every now and again, he and his agent Mino Raiola have taken to social media to offer hints on a potential transfer.
