Barcelona is not allowed to purchase new players this summer, however, the Catalan club, which triumphed in the Champions League and in the Spanish league, is actively looking for players in the summer transfer market.
An agreement with Barcelona would allow Juventus to keep P.Pogba in Turin for another season, while Barcelona would snatch one of the most sought-after midfielders on the market from their competitors.
A new meeting between Turin and Barcelona club leaders is scheduled for this week, and Barcelona club president José Maria Bartomeu is expected to participate.
Barcelona club president elections are scheduled for July 18th, and the agreement with P.Pogba is very important for J.M.Bartomeu, who is seeking re-election.
