As the weeks pass, the list of candidates to the signing of Paul Pogba seems to dwindle. If Real Madrid has officially drawn a line under the midfielder of Juventus, this is apparently not the case of FC Barcelona, which is still the French priority. Otherwise, the tracks leading to Ilkay Gundogan and Geoffrey Kondogbia are preserved.
The summer transfer window has officially opened a few days ago and will host the world football until the end of August. And the drama of the summer, which will revolve around Paul Pogba, does not seem ready to end. In recent months, while the departure of French midfielder of Juventus seems inevitable, the battle is raging behind the scenes between the richest and the most exclusive courses of the Old Continent to try to snatch his signature.
The Real Madrid and Manchester United seem to have decided to abandon this quest, at least officially, but unofficially perhaps not. In fact, it is Manchester City and FC Barcelona who will struggle to convince the former Le Havre, and to a lesser extent Chelsea and Paris Saint-Germain. And if for El Mundo Deportivo, the Blaugrana are also working on the Marco Verratti folder on failure for the world champion U20 2013 with Blueberries, Sport does not agree with this thesis.
Luis Enrique wants Paul Pogba because its technical profile seems made to move in the mold of a Barça who just lost his metronome Xavi Hernandez. However, residents of the Camp Nou have a beautiful thorn in the foot with this recruitment ban which runs until January 2016. If the Bianconeri had to sign well, it should remain in the shadows until next January, n is not made to enchant it, far from it, especially with the Euro 2016 in the viewfinder. It might otherwise be left on loan in Piedmont a few months, but this option does not suit him more …
If the coach of European champions has given its management two other avenues to explore. Ilkay Gundogan appeals to Catalans, and it would be cheaper especially since under contract with Borussia Dortmund until June 2016. But the German international is physically frail appeared in recent years. That leaves Geoffrey Kondogbia option. Barça Scouts would have appreciated his progress the last few months, it was already completed when he wore brilliantly for FC Sevilla.
The versatile profile, somewhat reminiscent of that of Paul Pogba, could suit that seek to Barcelona. Precisely, Monaco is a salesman for a sum of between 25 and 30 million euros, which is not afraid to Josep Maria Bartomeu and others. The former Lens player has kept a high score on the other side of the Pyrenees, as Real Madrid has not forgotten either and be on the lookout.
