REVEALED: Pogba demands to be second highest paid at Barcelona

Barcelona must make Paul Pogba one of the highest paid players in the game if they want to prise him from Juventus.

A Barca delegation will be in Turin today for talks with Juve over a deal for the France midfielder.

But even if Juve accept Barca's offer, which is expected to be for €80 million plus €10 million in bonuses, agreeing terms with Pogba will be another matter.

Sport says Pogba, knowing Manchester City are also keen, wants €12 million-a-year - net - to leave Juve. And he will not consider a penny less.

Should Barca cave in, it would make Pogba their second highest paid player behind only Lionel Messi.

Pogba's agent, Mino Raiola, isn't expected to discuss personal terms until after the July 18 Barca election.
