Joan Laporta, one of the pre-candidates for the FC Barcelona presidency, reiterated his disposition and approval to try and secure the signing of French international, Paul Pogba. He assured that they key in securing the Juventus player is his agent, Mino Raiola, and Laorta assured that he has a good relationship with the agent.
"We feel that the key to a potential signing of Pogba is Mino Raiola, with whom we get on with very well, both Abidal and myself. We carried out negotiations with him for the deals involving Maxwell and Zlatan Ibrahimovic. Abidal also knows Pogba on a personal level and if this is something that gives the supporters confidence in our project, then, we’ll talk to Juve as he would be a positive addition. I haven't’ spoken with the player or his club as being a pre-candidate forbids me from doing so”, added Laporta in a press conference.
“There is no doubt that he would be a great signing for the club. We’ve reviewed this with Abidal and he would fit in perfectly with our style and give us added quality and strength. He’s a player with a unique manner of playing. It would be great to secure his signature", he admitted.
