Barcelona not giving up on Pogba

The Blaugrana had an €80 million bid for the
midfielder rejected earlier this week but the
Catalans look set to test the Old Lady's resolve
Barcelona sporting director Ariedo Braida has
revealed the club have no intention on giving up
on signing Juventus ace Paul Pogba .
The Blaugrana made an €80 million offer for the
France international, 22, after meeting with
Bianconeri officials in Milan on Wednesday.
However, their bid was rejected, with Juve general
manager Giuseppe Marotta claiming the Italian
champions have no intention of selling their most-
prized asset.
Braida, though, has intimated that Barcelona fully
intend to test the Old Lady's resolve to hold on to
Pogba by submitting a second offer after this
month's presidential elections.
"My friend Marotta, whom I hold great affection for,
officially turned down the offer that I made,” Braida
told Sport Mediaset .
"However, we won't stop here. First, there are the
club elections, and then we'll see about other
moves."
Braida's boss, Josep Maria Bartomeu, will bid for
another term as Barca president on July 18.
Former Blaugrana supremo Joan Laporta, who is
also running for election, has already labelled the
failed attempt to land Pogba as "ridiculous" for
making the Catalans "look bad".
