DBasia.news – Barcelona president Josep Maria Bartomeu indicated to get a new player during the rest of 2018 summer transfer market. Bartomeu’s statement also targetted to Paul Pogba.
Barcelona often related to Paul Pogba during the 2018 summer transfer market. They considered Pogba’s arrival could strengthen the center field of the team.
Moreover, Paul Pogba seems in trouble with Manchester United high-official, and he couldn’t stand any longer at Old Trafford.
However, Manchester United won’t let go of Paul Pogba, considering the Premier League transfer market has been closed. Moreover, The Red Devils gave captain ban to Pogba.

Asked about Paul Pogba, Bartomeu answered diplomatically, “I won’t talk about names. We have respect for all clubs and there are 20 days left in the transfer window,” Bartomeu said quoted by FourFourTwo.
“Let’s see which players leave in the next few days. The team is focused on LaLiga, so it’s better to ask those responsible for transfers about those topics. This was in reference to Eric Abidal, the director of football, his right-hand man, Ramon Planes and Pep Segura,” he continued.
However, Barcelona’s intention to get Paul Pogba won’t be easy. Manchester United would only let him go for a fantastic offer.
Manchester United spent 100 million euro (Rp1,6 trillion) to get Paul Pogba from Juventus. At least, Barcelona have to pay the equal.
If they fail to get Paul Pogba, Barcelona still have some alternative names like PSG midfielder, Adrien Rabiot.
