A key meeting between officials from the Italian club and one of Pogba’s representatives, Rafaela Pimenta, took place in Milan on Thursday.
Everything is now in place for his return to Serie A giants Juve as a free agent — six years after he left to rejoin United in what was then a world-record £89million deal.
Reports in Italy suggest he will earn a basic salary of around £150,000 a week, although that will be boosted by a sizeable signing-on fee.
However, that figure will cause some raised eyebrows among the Old Trafford hierarchy.
In his Amazon Prime documentary The Pogmentary, he described a new £300,000-a-week contract offer from Red Devils chiefs as “nothing”.
United announced earlier this month that he would be leaving this summer when his contract expired.
Paris Saint-Germain and Real Madrid were also keen on luring the French World Cup winner.
Pogba has been busy since quitting Old Trafford at the end of last season.
Last weekend he played in an exhibition match in Florida featuring a host of Brazilian legends and even old Juve pal Paulo Dybala.
Pogba attended a DJ Khaled concert later that night, as he posed with Dybala and Real Madrid star Vinicius Jr.
Since his trip to the US, the ex-United man flew to his parents' homeland of Guinea.
Pogba was given a hero's welcome as thousands lined the streets to welcome the football icon.
