Barcelona give up Paul Pogba pursuit after being 'priced out' of move

 

The Frenchman is being chased by several clubs and is expected to leave Juventus next summer.

Both Chelsea and Manchester City have scouted the

22-year-old, as have Barcelona and Real Madrid.

But now, according to Sport, Barcelona have given up in their pursuit of Pogba after being put off by the money involved.

Juventus reportedly want around £70m, with the player's wages set to exceed £200,000-a-week.

As a result Barcelona are now setting their sights on other targets when their transfer ban is lifted in January.
