Pogba not in Barca talks, says agent

 

The agent of Paul Pogba insists his client has not started negotiations to join Barcelona.

 

Mino Raiola, who represents the Frenchman, has dismissed suggestions that the highly-rated midfielder has agreed a deal to move to Camp Nou next summer.

 

Pogba was widely tipped to leave Juventus during the off-season, with Barcelona the supposed frontrunners in any race to secure his services, though he remained in Turin.

 

Chelsea and Manchester City have been linked with a move for the France international and will be encouraged by the news that no deal has been struck to move to the La Liga and European champions.

"An agreement with FC Barcelona? Absolutely not," Raiola told Le10 Sport.

 

"Those who want him should sit with Juventus and then we'll see.

 

"This summer, there were three or four clubs interested, but he chose to stay at Juventus."

 

Pogba has struggled to find his best form for Juventus this season, gaining a WhoScored rating of just 7.16.
