BARCA WOULD HAVE BEATEN MAN UTD TO POGBA'S SIGNATURE

Barcelona Club's director of sporting relations, Albert Soler stated that Pogba could have been a Barcelona player today, had they wanted to follow through on the deal.

He said, "last year, we reached a deal with Juventus for us to have a priority option when they sold Pogba.
This summer, we decided that there were players that suited us better, on a sporting level.
The idea of the board was that nobody would be able to get ahead of us in the market. It allowed us to have options".
At last, Barcelona signed Valencia midfielder, Andre Gomes, who at the same age as Pogba, presumably fits into Barca's style much more than the French international.
