Barcelona are crying for a fresh addition to midfield, and Paul Pogba’s dramatic fall-out with Jose Mourinho could path the way for the move.
What’s the word?
Pogba and Mourinho’s falling out has been well documented, seeing the French World Cup winner stripped of the armband and told he’d never captain Manchester United again.
While at the Camp Nou, key figures are said to have spoken on their desire to see the former most expensive player in the world leave Old Trafford for a second time and join them at the Catalan club.
The likes of Samuel Umtiti and Ousmane Dembele are claimed to be joined by Gerard Pique and Lionel Messi in believing the reigning La Liga champions would be better off with the physicality the 25-year-old posses.
Could it happen?
It’s unlikely Barcelona would be able to make a move even if they wanted to due to the club’s current financial shortcomings, with their huge wage bill making up for 66% of all expenditure.
Some outgoings, though, and United may be able to cash in on a player not best viewed by the manager, allowing for a potential return to summer target Sergej Milinkovic-Savic.
The Lazio star had a stellar 2017/18 season and was touted as a potential Red Devils recruit, with reports of a £80million deal being rejected.
An average season so far, though, could see the price come down or the door open wider.
