Juventus and Barcelona held a dinner meeting on Sunday for Paul Pogba, as they are clear favourites ahead of Manchester City.

Several sources, including La Gazzetta dello Sport, claim Juve director Beppe Marotta had dinner with Blaugrana transfer guru Ariedo Braida in Milan on Sunday evening.

The subject up for discussion was the future of Pogba, who has been named as a target by Barca Presidential candidate Joan Laporta.

La Gazzetta notes it is irrelevant who wins the election, as both Laporta and Josep Maria Bartomeu made it clear they want the Frenchman.

Barcelona are clear favourites to land Pogba, as they are locked down by a transfer embargo until June 2016.

This paradoxically helps their cause, as they’d leave the 22-year-old at Juventus for another year to help his maturation process.

Italian reports claim Manchester City are offering considerably more money, both in terms of the transfer fee and wages, but Pogba much prefers Barcelona as a destination.
