Barcelona to launch second bid for Pogba

BARCELONA board member Jordi Mestre says that the club will consider making another move for Juventus ace Paul Pogba should Luis Enrique say so.

The Blaugrana launched a bid to land the France international last month but their €80 million offer was rejected by the Bianconeri.

However, with Josep Maria Bartomeu having secured another term as president on Saturday, speculation is now rife that Barca will now turn their attention back to bringing the 22-year-old to Camp Nou.

“If the coaching team ask for Pogba, we will study it,” he told Cadena COPE. “In principle, the squad for next season is finished.

“But if Luis Enrique asks for some reinforcement somewhere, the door is open.”

Barca are currently serving a FIFA-imposed, year-long transfer ban related to the movement of players under the age of 18 but they can still make new signings and then register them in January.

The Catalans have already signed Arda Turan from Atletico Madrid and Aleix Vidal from Sevilla.
