Juventus Update: Pogba is NOT 'Crazy' for Barcelona
“Paul Pogba offers himself to Barçelona”
A stunning front page title indeed for the Sport website this morning. According to the Catalan newspaper, the Frenchman has made joining Barcelona his Number 1 priority, and will help the Culés put pressure on Juventus in order to obtain a discount, as the €100 pricetag is considered to be excessive, and too expensive for the Blaugrana’s resources.
It's certainly a very plausible version of events, as Pogba acted very pally with Messi at the recent Ballon D'Or award ceremony, even telling the Messiah that he would "love" to play with him.
There's only problem with the offering story: Pogba has done nothing of the sort.
From what we can gather, however, the 22-year-old superstar hasn't offered himself to anyone, and is totally focussed on Juventus’ campaign on three fronts.
Though anybody would want to play for Barcelona (and with Messi!), Pogba gas other priorities, namely this summer's European Championships. Only then will Barça, Real, City, PSG and Chelsea be able to entice him with the right offer.
