Barcelona president Bartomeu: Paul Pogba a great player

Barcelona president Josep Maria Bartomeu insists they're not chasing Juventus midfielder Paul Pogba. The Frenchman is being linked with Barca, despite their summer market ban.

Bartomeu told Radio Monte Carlo: : "Pogba is a great player, but in this moment we are not thinking about additions. It's true that we have a FIFA sanction that prevents us from recruiting until January 2016. We work so that some players arrive [here], others can leave.

"We are preparing for next season, but we will not provide the names here. Pogba is a good player, one who has a contract with an Italian team that I respect a lot.

"For the moment, it is not expected that we recruit, but everyone wants to have the great players. Also, we have players that the others (clubs) would like to have."
