Barcelona coach Xavi has rejected the chance to sign Manchester United midfielder Paul Pogba next month.
Barca president Joan Laporta and agent Mino Raiola had a dinner meeting last week, where three players were discussed: Xavi Simons (PSG), Noussair Mazraoui (Ajax) and Pogba. Erling Haaland, of Borussia Dortmund, was also raised. Though it is the former three whom had the focus as they’re all off contract in June.
Raiola suggested Barca could sign Pogba next month, but Sport says Xavi immediately rejected the prospect when it was put to him by Laporta.
Xavi doesn’t see Pogba’s qualities suiting his system and he isn’t the ideal type for a Barca midfielder.
The Barca wants a player better in possession and less ‘physical’.
