Juve: Pogba not for sale

“Whoever is interested in the player needs to talk to Juventus and not with Mino Raiola, who is nonetheless his (Pogba’s) agent,” Marotta told the Spanish press.

Mino Raiola has said that Juventus midfielder and France global, Paul Pogba has a higher probability of joining Barcelona if Joan Laporta wins the presidential election.

Juventus have slapped a “not for sale” notice on midfielder Paul Pogba.

“Barca cannot make any signings and Juve does not want to sell”.

“This is the right way to do business between two teams that have so much history and importance in the world of football”.

“The situation is clear between Juventus and Barcelona since the meeting we had in Milan with their director Albert Soler and my friend Ariedo Braida”.

However, the 20-year-old is said to be desperate to play in the Champions League and Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho is keen to boost his strike force.

“[Barca] made us a serious and concrete offer and we answered in the same way”.

Due to a transfer ban imposed by Federation Internationale de Football Association for disobeying rules regarding under-age players, Barcelona are prohibited from fielding new players until January 2016, meaning new additions Aleix Vidal and Arda Turan will have to wait until then to be handed their competitive debut for the Nou Camp side.

In a recent interview with EFE, Raiola spoke about the future of his most prized client and stressed that should candidate Joan Laporta win the election over Josep Maria Bartomeu, Pogba could be in blaugrana next season.

Juventus have to hold on to their star players and especially when Arturo Vidal is also on the verge of leaving the club for Bayern Munich.
