Barcelona Transfer News: Paul Pogba Wants Camp Nou or Madrid Move, Fresh Rumours

Juventus midfielder Paul Pogba is only willing to leave Turin for Barcelona or Real Madrid, according to French publication L'Equipe (h/t Sport).

Sport's article notes that Pogba "will ignore" the advances of Paris Saint-Germain to secure a move to either the Camp Nou or the Bernabeu. This comes despite PSG owner Nasser Al-Khelaifi recently saying, "We will announce when we have an agreement with the player," per Sport.

The aforementioned article says Mino Raiola, Pogba's agent, has made PSG aware of the player's intentions. Naturally, the most dominant French side are keen on landing the most talented French youngster, but it seems Pogba may be set on a future in La Liga.

He is built to dominate in any division. Pogba's physical power and long strides forward make him prominent across the pitch. The former Manchester United man possesses technical skill on the ball and is confident enough to brush beyond opponents when a gap presents itself.

Pogba is a blockbuster-style player whose ability to score stunning goals makes him impressively well-rounded at such an early stage of his career. B/R UK's James McNicholas recently looked at where the player could end up:

L'Equipe (h/t Sport) notes that both Spanish clubs are willing to offer the 22-year-old €10 million per season to join. Barca cannot complete transfer deals until January 2016 due to their current transfer ban, so they may take the summer to offload unneeded stars in order to fund a megadeal for Pogba.

Xavi's move to Qatari side Al Sadd, as reported by BBC Sport, lowers the wage bill and leaves a chasm to fill in midfield.

Sergi Font of Marca believes Pedro's future hangs in the balance. He is largely surplus to requirements with Lionel Messi, Neymar and Luis Suarez ahead of him in Barca's attack, but he remains valuable because Luis Enrique cannot replace him until the transfer ban lifts.

Font also suggests Martin Montoya is "not in the coach's plans" and that Marc Bartra's release clause has dropped to €10 million due to his lack of playing time—in other words, Pogba's potential wages for a year.

Enrique will no doubt look to invest heavily once the transfer ban concludes, even if Barca secure a famous treble this season.
