Paul Pogba tried to pay the equivalent of £11million to armed blackmailers in one go but they had to settle for £85,000 cash because of the multimillionaire footballer’s bank withdrawal limit.

A criminal investigation is currently underway in France into allegations that the 29-year-old’s own brother, Mathias Pogba, 32, and childhood friends were behind the plot.
On Tuesday, enquiry sources revealed that ex-Manchester United star Pogba handed over €100,000 (£85,000) after being escorted at gunpoint to a flat in Roissy-en-Brie, in the eastern suburb of Paris, in March.
This was 10 miles south of Lagny-sur-Marne, the town where Pogba was born and brought up, and where he was visiting family while on international duty in Paris.
