Major twist in Barcelona’s move for Paul Pogba

A new development has now emerged on the speculated interest of Spanish giants Barcelona in French midfielder Paul Pogba.

This season has been a controversial one for the World Cup winner with his unconvincing performance as well as the rift he has with manager Jose Mourinho at the club.

The duo were reported to have exchanged hot words in training which forced the former Chelsea boss into stripping him off the team’s captain ban.

The decision of the Portuguese had touched the former Juventus star and he was reportedly forcing a move away from the team by telling the club’s executive vice-chairman that he wants to leave the club but that was not accepted by the management who were interested in his stay.

However, Italian Serie A side Juventus and Spanish side Barcelona were reported to be interested in having his signature with the Catalans reported to be preparing a bid for him in the winter transfer window.

If the latest report is anything to go by, the interest coming from the Spanish side is already cooling off as they might not have a bid for Pogba submitted again in the coming winter transfer window.

Meanwhile, Pogba is reported to be secretly seeking for a move away from the Old Trafford as he claims he can no longer work with the former Chelsea boss.
