Iniesta wants Pogba, Turan signings

Andres Iniesta has revealed that he would welcome the added competition of Arda Turan and Paul Pogba to Barcelona this summer.

Pogba has been heavily linked with a switch to Camp Nou in recent days amid speculation that the Catalans saw a £57m bid rejected by Juventus.

Meanwhile, Barca presidential candidate Josep Maria Bartomeu recently talked up the prospect of signing Atletico Madrid man Turan.

Despite both operating in a similar position as Iniesta, the Spain international told reporters that he would welcome any player that would strengthen the team.

"Pogba's a player that every great team wants to have. He's a young lad but with the talent and the strength for the best teams. If he comes and can be with us, he'll be well received," he said.

"He's a great player, a great talent with a lot of quality," he added of Turan. "If he ultimately comes, he'll be welcome, as any other team-mate would."

Iniesta started 40 games in all competitions last season as Luis Enrique's men swept all before them by winning the treble - La Liga, Copa del Rey and Champions League.
