"Barcelona" had all the opportunities to buy the security of Turin's "Juventus" Paul Pogba, but ultimately decided to go in a different direction.
The talented Frenchman moved to "Man Utd" this summer for a record amount - 105 million euros.
Barcelona representative Albert Soleras explained the situation to the media:
"Last year we reached an agreement with the "Juventus" club regarding priority in acquiring this 23-year-old player.
However, this summer we decided that other footballers suit us better in terms of mastery.
Our club's goal is for no one to outdo the Barcelona players in the market. Then we have more choice."
