Manchester United are set to make Paul Pogba the highest-paid player at the club with a new five-year contract worth £400,000 per week.
Pogba has just one year remaining on his current £290,000-a-week deal and United are 'desperate' to extend his stay at Old Trafford before the transfer window closes.
However, the French midfielder is yet to accept United's latest offer - which will see him earn more than David De Gea who is earning £375,000 per week.
According to The Athletic, Pogba will take his time to assess his options as a free transfer to Paris Saint-Germain next season remains a possibility.
Nevertheless, United chiefs want Pogba to sign the deal - which would run for a minimum of four years, with the option of extending until 2025 - as soon as possible.
The new deal will also provide the midfielder with a significant increase on his £290,000-a-week contract as the club want to protect the player’s market value, as they face losing him for nothing next summer after an £89m outlay to sign him in 2016.
Should that be the case, it would be the second time Pogba has walked away from Old Trafford, having joined Juventus in 2012 at the expiry of his contract.
However, it is understood Pogba is biding his time as he decides his next move and will not rush into the decision.
It is unlikely that Pogba will put pen to paper with Manchester United before the transfer window closes at 11pm on August 31.
PSG had been linked with a move for Pogba this summer, but Lionel Messi's shock switch to the Ligue 1 side stopped any move for the Frenchman from happening with the club prioritising the Argentine superstar instead.
Nevertheless, PSG have reportedly offered Pogba a mammoth £510,000-a-week salary if he joins them on a free next summer.
Pogba has also been linked with moves to Real Madrid and Barcelona but their well-known and publicised financial issues has left the midfielder to put off a move until he's out of contract – allowing him to move for no transfer fee.
Pogba got the new 2021-22 campaign off to the flying start on Saturday after he played a pivotal role in United's 5-1 thumping win over arch rivals Leeds at Old Trafford.
While Bruno Fernandes walked away with the match ball and Mason Greenwood caught the eye, Pogba recorded four assists in the win, which left manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer to sing the midfielder's praises after the game.
'Impressive,' Solskjaer said of Pogba's vision. 'Paul's always got that vision, he's got that quality.
'I know that the headlines will probably be about Bruno or Paul but this is a team effort and the space Mason creates for Bruno to open up the channels, what everyone does ahead of the goals has been worked on this week.
'But, Paul, I'm very impressed with his fitness levels as well. He's not been with us for too long and he looks fit, ready to go, enjoying his football.
'I love seeing Paul and all these boys smiling when they're playing football.'
