Barcelona president Josep Maria Bartomeu has remained non-committal about his club’s interest in Juventus midfielder Paul Pogba, who has also been linked with a move to Manchester United.
The Catalan giants have emerged as the favourites to land the French midfielder this summer and it has been claimed that Pogba’s agent recently met Barcelona officials to discuss a transfer to Spain for his client.
While the deal remains complicated because of the club’s transfer embargo, Barcelona are believed to be committed to the cause of signing the Juventus midfielder in the near future.
Though Barcelona president Bartomeu refused to divulge anything on the speculated negotiations, he did indicate the club’s interest in Pogba.
“Half of Europe likes him”, Bartomeu told TV3.
