Laporta confident of Pogba arrival

Barcelona presidential candidate Joan Laporta says he will consult Coach Luis Enrique “before signing” Paul Pogba but doesn’t foresee any problems.

The 52-year-old recently spoke of his optimism in relation to the Frenchman’s arrival from Juventus if he was re-elected President, and he reiterated the sentiment at the next available opportunity on his campaign trail.

“Before signing Pogba, I’ll speak with Luis Enrique but I don’t believe there will be any problems,” he told reporters.

“I know [Luis] well, so it’s a possible transfer. I maintain good relations with his agent Mino Raiola after the signings of Maxwell and [Zlatan] Ibra, plus [potential sporting director Eric] Abidal is a great friend of Pogba’s.”
