Juventus reject enormous Paul Pogba bid from Barcelona

JOE

We can confidently assume that if Juventus sell Paul Pogba, he’ll leave for an exorbitant amount of money.

It has been reported on Friday that the Serie A champions have rejected a £58m bid from Barcelona for the French midfielder, with Tuttosport splashing the rumour across their front page.

The paper claim that Barcelona are either trying to get around their transfer embargo, or simply ignore it by pressing ahead with a huge bid for Pogba.

Several major clubs have been keeping tabs on the 22-year-old ahead of the summer transfer window, including Premier League clubs Chelsea, Manchester United, Arsenal and Manchester City.

Last week, Barcelona sporting director Ariedo Braida confirmed the Catalans are interested in signing Pogba, but it now looks like they’ll have to cough up at least £60m.
