'We will not buy Juventus star' - Barcelona president

 

Barcelona president Josep Bartomeu insists the club is not in the market to sign Juventus star Paul Pogba. 

 

France international Pogba has been strongly linked with a move to the defending European champions following a hugely successful campaign with the Serie A giants. 

 

Widespread reports suggested Barcelona would table a big-money bid to convince Juventus to sell their prized asset this summer. 

 

However, Bartomeu has now admitted the club there are no plans in place to take him to Camp Nou.

"We will not buy Pogba this year," Bartomeu told reporters. 

 

"We are not planning with him for next season. He is not part of our sporting plans for 2015/16 at this stage." 

 

The news comes after Barcelona confirmed the big-money capture of Arda Turan from Atletico Madrid on Monday evening.
