US Roissy president Sambou Tati admits that the club are already discussing how to spend the money they are going to receive from Paul Pogba’s proposed move to Manchester United.
Manchester United have been in talks with Juventus for Pogba, and are expected to reach an agreement over a fee worth €120m, which would be a new world record.
The Red Devils are keen to sign their former player, who they poached from French outfit Le Havre, but they were not the club Pogba started his career with.
The Frenchman started at US Roissy when he was just six and was on their books until he was 13, when he joined another club before moving to Le Havre.
With Manchester United set to pay a record fee for the 23-year-old midfielder, Roissy will receive a FIFA solidarity payment of around €400,000, a huge sum for a club whose annual budget is just €60,000.

“We have already started talking about how to use the money, but I am not panicking.
“We will continue to work, with little or more money.”
