Pogba wants Barca-Laporta

The presidential candidate has little doubt he
would be able to convince the Frenchman to make
the move to Camp Nou if he wins the election
Barcelona presidential candidate Joan Laporta is
confident Juventus midfielder Paul Pogba would be
open to a move to the Camp Nou side.
The 22-year-old France international is widely
regarded as one of the most exciting players
around in the game and has been linked with a
move away from Turin on more than one occasion,
despite a contract with the Serie A champions that
runs until June 2019.

Barca are among the teams that have shown an
interest in signing Pogba and Laporta has hinted
he is ready to make a move if he becomes club
president again.
"Pogba would be a great signing," Laporta told
Catalunya Radio.
"He really is a very strong player. He is still young
and has the desire to join Barcelona.
"I have a great relationship with his agent Mino
Raiola. If we decide to try to sign Pogba, he will
definitely be a great intermediary."
Laporta faces competition from current boss Josep
Bartomeu as well as Jordi Majo and Agusto
Benedito in the race for the Barcelona presidency.
He previously ruled the Catalans between 2003 and
2010.
