Barcelona plan to make a major blow in the battle for Juventus midfield ace Paul Pogba this week.

Sport says Barca officials will meet with their Juve counterparts on Wednesday to deliver a formal €80 million offer.

The proposal will be for €80 million up front, plus a further €10 million due in bonuses. The European giants will also allow Pogba to spend another 12 months in Turin before joining Barca in 2016.

Barca technical chief Ariedo Braida is already in Turin and dined with Juve GM Beppe Marotta on Sunday night.

Albert Soler, Barca's sports director, will fly to Italy tomorrow to join Braida and meet with Juve officials. He will deliver Barca's offer, confident it will be the best Juve have received.
