Barring a surprise, Barcelona will not go for Paul Pogba. The midfielder's contract with Manchester United expires in 2022 and several teams are already lining up at his door to try to sign him.
As reported by 'Sport', Barcelona have already made the decision to pull out of the race to sign him. The reason is simple: economically speaking, the operation is unviable. Just 24 hours ago this option was a reality, but it seems to have been short-lived.
Currently, the international with 'Les Bleus' earns a salary of approximately 17 million euros. To this amount should also be added the millionaire commission that his agent, Mino Raiola, would get for formalising the operation.
In addition, there are other ways in which they are willing to make an effort in 'Can Barca', such as Erling Haaland, also represented by Raiola. So, with the Catalan giants out of the running in the bidding for Pogba, the way is paved for him to end up at Real Madrid.
