Reports in Spain indicate that Barcelona are not in the running to sign Juventus midfielder Paul Pogba.
The Frenchman is one of Europe’s hottest properties, and although he signed a new deal with the Bianconeri in October, the former Manchester United man continues to be linked with an exit.
Mundo Deportivo had speculated that Barcelona would be one of the interested parties, however that has been contradicted by Catalan newspaper Sport.
The Blaugrana have a transfer ban, and so would be unable to complete any signing until January of 2016.

Allied to probable fines from FIFA for an alleged breach of transfer rules in the signing of Neymar, Barca have reportedly decided a move for Pogba would be too expensive.
Sport believes a transfer would probably cost up to €200m, taking into account transfer fee, wages and other expenses.
