Juventus Maintain That Paul Pogba Is Not For Sale
“Pogba has a big chance of going to Barcelona [if Laporta wins]”, he told EFE.
In fact Barcelona presidential candidate Joan Laporta recently claimed that he would look to secure the signature of the French global if he won the elections scheduled to be held tomorrow.
There is a “high chance” that Juventus star Paul Pogba will join FC Barcelona if Joan Laporta wins the upcoming presidential election, according to the player’s agent Mino Raiola.
Chelsea, Manchester City and Paris Saint-Germain are also said to be interested in signing the former Manchester United man.
Juventus managing director Giuseppe Marotta said earlier this month that the Turin club had rejected an €80 million offer from the Blaugrana for the multi-talented 22-year-old.
The English press have reported the coming to an end of the Paul Pogba transfer saga, claiming the Juventus midfielder would have chosen Barcelona.
“We have negotiated with Barca in recent months,” added Marotta.
“In any case Barca cannot make any signings and Juve does not want to sell”.
“This is the right way for two teams that have so much history and importance in the world of football to act”.
“The player is not for sale”.
“The situation is very clear between Barça and Juventus after the meeting we had in Milan”.
“[Barca] made us a serious and concrete offer and we answered in the same way”.
Barcelona are unable field any new players until January 2016 due to a transfer ban imposed by Federation Internationale de Football Association for breaching rules on the transfer of under-age players.
Pogba’s Juventus team-mate Arturo Vidal is close to a move to Bayern Munich.
