The patron was fresh from celebrating the Treble, completed on Saturday night by beating Juve 3-1 in Berlin.

“Pogba is a great player and it’s true he is one of our objectives,” Bartomeu told Telefoot.

“Obviously we are interested in Pogba, but I cannot say any more than that. We cannot sign anybody before January, so I can’t say more.”

“Obviously we are interested in Pogba, but I cannot say any more than that. We cannot sign anybody before January, so I can’t say more.”

Barcelona are subject to a transfer embargo after breaching FIFA rules on deals with players aged under 18.

The Blaugrana are finding a way around that, having this week secured Aleix Vidal from Sevilla for around €10m.

He won’t be available to play until January 2016.

Meanwhile, Juve have repeatedly made clear they have no intention of selling Pogba, who at 22 has a price-tag of €100m.

The Bianconeri have no financial problems and reaching the Champions League Final boosted their revenue this season by €100m.
