Manchester City 'to miss out on Barcelona target Paul Pogba'

Juventus midfielder Paul Pogba is keen on a switch to Barcelona instead of Manchester City, according to reports.

The Frenchman has been heavily linked to both clubs for the past few months, and is expected to leave Juventus for a new challenge in the near future.

City have reportedly denied making a firm offer for the 22-year-old, but the Daily Mail claims that Pogba would rather join Barcelona despite the extra money available in Manchester.

The Champions League winners are unable to sign the ex-Manchester United academy player this summer due to a transfer embargo, but can complete a deal in January.

Pogba has been with Juventus since 2012.
