POGBA
Barcelona claim to have turned down the chance to sign Paul Pogba before
his world-record move to Manchester United.
Barca director of sporting
institutional relations, Albert Soler, made the revelation while speaking at
press conference to discuss the La Liga champions’ transfer dealings.
Pogba was one of the players
discussed at the said conference, and Soler revealed Barca had first refusal on
the France international last year while he was at Juventus.
“Last year we made an
agreement with Juventus: if they would have wanted to sell Pogba, we would have
had a priority on him," said Soler.
"That was the commitment
that we had but that didn't happen. Juventus did not want to sell the player
last year and so we had to go out and look for somebody else.”
