Barcelona are plotting to win the race for Juventus midfielder Paul Pogba by offering to allow him to spend next season on loan at the Italian giants.
The Catalan giants are currently serving a transfer ban which would make it impossible for Pogba to turn out for them during the first half of the 2015/16 season and has thrown the initiative to other clubs chasing his signature, such as Manchester United, Real Madrid and Paris Saint-Germain.
Barcelona are looking at ways they could ensure they win the race for Pogba and according to Spanish daily El Mundo Deportivo, are considering a bid to sign the Frenchman but loan him back to Juventus.
Pogba would only join Barcelona at the start of 2016 or in the summer of 2016.
The Catalans' plan may meet with Juventus' approval, as it would allow the Italian side to guarantee big-money for Pogba, but also keep him in Turin for longer.
