Barcelona ready to hijack Chelsea's move for former Man United star Paul Pogba

Paul Pogba is on Barcelona's radar

BARCELONA admit they're interested in signing Paul Pogba from Juventus.

 

The France midfielder has been tracked by Manchester City, Chelsea and former club Manchester United.

Pogba was let go by United after failing to make an impact on Sir Alex Ferguson's side and not agreeing a new deal.

Chelsea made a move for Pogba in the summer but were unable to convince him to return to the Premier League.

 

But Barcelona, whose transfer ban ends in January, are set to step up their interest.

“The amount he’d cost has to be considered," Barcelona technical director Robert Fernandez said.

“But you can find a solution for that. We have freedom to work [after a transfer ban] and when the time comes we’ll sit down and decide.”

Pogba joined Juventus in 2012 and the 22-year-old has since won three Serie A titles, been to a Champions League final and won Young Player of the Tournament at the 2014 World Cup.

He took the number 10 shirt at Juve this summer after the departure of Carlos Tevez to Boca Juniors.

But the champions have struggled this term and sit 12th after seven games and Pogba may be encouraged to move on in the winter when the transfer window re-opens.
