Juventus ace Pogba 'interested' in Chelsea, Barcelona

Paul Pogba is believed to be pondering a summer move to either Chelsea or Barcelona.

The French midfielder, 22, is expected to leave Italian champions Juventus at the end of the season which has subsequently seen a number of top clubs around Europe heavily linked.

Spanish football expert Graham Hunter has revealed that the Bianconeri star has attracted the interest of both the Blues and the Blaugrana and that the player himself is contemplating a shift to either London or Catalonia.

"The leading clubs, we are told from the people that run this player, are Chelsea and Barcelona. They have made the running, he is interested," said Hunter.

"[But] Barcelona would have to buy him and loan him back to Juventus for a season, which is a huge risk."

Of course, Barcelona are currently under a transfer embargo and even if they signed Pogba, he could not turn out for them until their ban is lifted which gives Chelsea a clear advantage.
